The new Bella Kai (or "beautiful food") food market, is a
multimillion dollar fresh-food market at North Road in
Invercargill.
The outlet stocks quality locally grown produce, including
organic vegetables and fruit. Most of the food is sourced from
small-scale Southland and Otago producers, with European, Asian and
gluten-free food coming from further afield. Some products
are from overseas, but are more the delicatessen-type goods that
could not be sourced in New Zealand.
Signal was engaged to manage the design and construction of the
project, with completion in early October 2010.
The 800m2 building which houses the retail outlet, commercial
kitchen and packaging/storage areas was completed in 5 months along
with extensive onsite infrastructure services, car parking and
landscaping which were requirements which were set out in the
Resource Consent.
