The Toowong Village Shopping Centre redevelopment involved all three shopping levels of the 46,000m2 property undergoing a complete refurbishment. These changes allowed enhancement of the tenancy mix to better reflect the needs of the Toowong shopper, while maintaining the convenience and intimacy of a local village precinct. The overall aesthetic of the interior is elegant and warm, but with a contemporary edge that redefined Toowong Village as a premium shopping experience.
The major challenge faced by the team was to keep the centre open and trading during the project. With 10.6 million annual shoppers and more than 86 specialty retailers, including large tenancies such as David Jones, Coles and Kmart, Toowong Village is now a high-end shopping hub.
