The outstanding performance of the centre has and will continue to reap the benefits of the recent high-quality upgrade, and in turn, continue to provide income growth.”
The centre recently underwent a best-in-class refurbishment, curated by co-owner of the asset and globally renowned retail architect Paul Saunders of Saunders Global. The firm that is responsible for many major international and Australia retail developments and refurbishments, including Bawabat Al Sharq Mall in Abu Dhabi.
“Further to the security and performance of the retail, the offering provides value add potential. The site’s flexible mixed-use zoning allows a range of uses from simple freestanding retail to full-scale mixed-use buildings (STCA),” said Willis.

Fahey said, “Orange is unlike any other regional city in Australia and offers a diverse and growing economy, home to world-class winery and culinary experiences. Only a 3.5-hour drive from Sydney with daily flights and express rail, Orange provides easy access to almost 1 million visitors per year, underpinning the booming tourism market.”
