Walker Corporation embraces wellness centres at Parramatta Square

Walker Corporation, one of Australia’s largest property developers, has partnered with two wellness operators, Wellineux and Universal Fitness at its Collins Square and Parramatta Square precincts.  

Walker Corporation will soon welcome Wellineux to its Collins Square complex in Melbourne, with plans to launch Wellineux’s new wellness studio, Mellobarre, inside the precinct next month.   

Mellobarre has been designed to provide a range of wellness programs and initiatives, including, pilates, remedial massage, hot yoga, and workshops.

About 30,000 workers and visitors come to Collins Square every day.     

At Walker Corporation’s 4 Parramatta Square development under construction in Sydney, Universal Fitness recently signed a 10 year lease.  

David Gallant, Chief Operating Officer at Walker Corporation, said: “Walker is committed to delivering a range of health and wellbeing solutions to the workforce of corporate organisations in both our Melbourne and Parramatta precincts.  

“We have listened to our tenants who are keen to see an improvement in the health and wellness standards of their staff, improving their quality of life and productivity.”

The Parramatta Square facility is expected to open in November 2019.

It will provide the latest technology and equipment, personal training, and a variety of group classes, such as zumba, pilates and yoga.  

The facility will also offer the expected 23,500 people who will be moving into Parramatta Square an experience energiser and sleeping pods, oxygen chairs, meditation rooms, along with everyday convenience services, such as laundry and health food.    

“The future of the commercial environment goes beyond sustainable development to deliver an all-encompassing holistic approach to workplace health and wellness for tenants,” Gallant said.

“This will be teamed with complementary retail and entertainment options to deliver a satisfying experience for our occupants.”
