Birkenhead Point received development consent and is working towards the commencement of works to the western end of the centre in early 2017, with a completion in mid-2017.
Works will include a complete reconfiguration and remix of the western end of Level 2, known as the Flinders Gallery Mall, to create a premium fashion outlet precinct, new cafés and a full upgrade to all lift lobbies and two elevators which will connect the centre’s ground level to the rooftop car park, providing customers with easier access to convenient parking spaces. Other minor development works include a small reconfiguration and remix of the western end of Level 1 to further enhance the retail offer.
This development follows recent improvements made by the centre since Mirvac acquired the site, including an extensive upgrade of Birkenhead Point Marina and the introduction of global brands such as Armani, Puma, Topshop, Aquila and Lindt.
Mirvac Retail’s Senior Development Manager, Christina Nelson said, “We are excited to commence this first phase of a longer-term masterplan to enhance the current retail offering and customer experience at Birkenhead Point and solidify the Centre’s position as a premium retail outlet.”
