Cornershop Investments is bringing a new landmark to Rangiora with Northpoint, a contemporary retail and business hub taking shape on the prominent corner of High and Ashley Streets. The development reflects a vision to create a high-quality space that supports local business growth and enhances the town centre.

Murray Irvine, one of the local investors behind the development, says the goal was to deliver a standout building worthy of its gateway location. With most tenancies already secured, Northpoint is set to add new energy and opportunities to the heart of Rangiora
