Midland gate shopping centre milestone reached
The expansion of the Midland Gate Shopping Centre continues, with the recent opening of Stage 3. APP is assisting Vicinity Centres on the project, which involves the growth of the centre to approximately 64,000m2 of NLA.
The expansion will provide an increased number and broader range of retail outlets (ALDI, Coles, Harris Scarfe, Rebel, JB Hi-Fi) in addition to approximately 45 speciality and food tenancies. The project also includes the delivery of new basement and roof deck car parking and will be delivered over 7 stages.
Stages 1 and 2 have been completed and involved the construction of a new KTAS pad site and creation of a new external F&B offering. Stage 3, which opened in late August, involved the first major opening of the new mall. This opening included a new Coles supermarket, 23 specialty tenancies and new basement and roof deck car parking.
Construction has commenced on the final stages of the project and the main portion of this work is due to conclude for grand opening in November this year. This will comprise the opening of the second half of the new mall (including ALDI and JB Hi-Fi), new entry statement and refurbished on-grade car parking. The final stage of the project includes the backfill of Rebel and Harris Scarfe into the old Coles tenancy. These tenancies are set to open in March 2019.
