$36 million development approved for QueensPlaza
Vicinity Centres, owners of QueensPlaza, has secured development approval from Brisbane City Council for a $36 million redevelopment for QueensPlaza.
It is marketed as Brisbane’s home of luxury shopping.
Vicinity Centres's Carolyn Viney said the redevelopment of the centre was focused on catering for growing demand for luxury brands.
It will also include two new signature restaurants, one featuring a new dining balcony looking over the Queen Street Mall.
“We want our customers as well as the over 1 million tourists who visit Brisbane’s CBD each year to take the time to indulge in the luxury and dining experience when they visit QueensPlaza.”
The new development concept has been prepared by Blight Rayner, with PDT Architects undertaking design architecture.
Vicinity Centres has appointed Mainbrace as the design and construction contractor.
The majority of development works will be completed in time for the busy Christmas period, with the entire project due for completion in mid-2019.
QueenPlaza first opened in 2005 and houses anchor retailers David Jones and Coles as well as more than 60 specialty boutiques and high-end retailers
