City Mall was the main shopping area in central Christchurch . The pedestrian mall was made up of two blocks of Cashel Street ( from Oxford Terrace to High Street ) , and one block of High Street ( from Cashel Street to Hereford Street ) . The central city including buildings in City Mall suffered some damage in the 4 September 2010 Canterbury earthquake . Although lower in magnitude , the 2010 Boxing Day earthquake was more damaging as the epicentre was directly located under the central city . But it was the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake that all but devastated the city centre , when many of the building façades of the historic buildings in the mall collapsed
