Creative Colombo // Among the new precincts and spaces to spring up in post-quake Christchurch, The Colombo is fast shaping up as one of the strongest, most cohesive-feeling retail players. In the heart of Sydenham, both the mall, perhaps better known as “the Spotlight mall”, and the area itself are aiming high in their revitalisation. Caroline Cooper-Dixon, whose family purchased The Colombo space in December, says, “The Sydenham area itself is being painted towards the Meatpacking district in New York and Darlinghurst in Sydney, and looking at some of the plans for the area and its future, I think we will see this develop over the months and years.”
Finalists will be drawn out of a hat on the night and will play for an hour. Then

“We’ve taken a few trips away to look further into retail experiences and embrace ideas and feedback from our tenants,” says Caroline. Design and originality are a couple of the key briefs - which is a nice fit for Gap Filler, which is hosting an installation in one of the Colombo Street facing store windows from Friday 4 November to Wednesday 30 November. The As Far As Eye Can See will include a crocheted 1.4m by 2m art work created for Christchurch and Gap Filler by artists in Adelaide and work from local artists.
