Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

Commercial Sales

An interstate investor purchased a Noosa Heads retail institution “Signature on Hastings”, for $5.6 million following an off-market campaign.
Situated at 18A Hastings Street, (pictured in title) the asset was one of only five single use freeholds left on the famous strip.
It comes as a 180 sqm NLA retail investment on a 97 sqm allotment.
The vendor had held the property for over 30 years.
The property produces an annual income of $306,000 p.a. net* + GST.
It was sold by Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North directors Paul Forrest and Paul Butler.
Mr Forrest said, “Hastings Street is highly sought-after by wealthy investors and remains very tightly held, with freehold properties particularly desired."
“The buyer already owns several assets on the strip, so they were one of a few parties we approached."
“We’re delighted that following the success of our off-market campaign and long history of successful sales, we’ve been appointed as exclusive agents for the sale of 'Peter Alexander' at 28 Hastings Street (pictured below)," he added.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2019/4/19/hastings%202.JPG" alt="">
Mr Butler said Signature on Hastings was a Noosa institution and was a unique concept store that was well-known by locals and tourists alike.
“The shop opened its doors on Noosa’s now-famous Hastings Street shopping strip in 1990 and it’s genuinely adored by everyone,” he said.
“The creation of interior designer Gail Hinkley, it started as a small women’s clothing and gift store, and has now grown into a well-established name in the homeware industry."
“Hastings Street is Queensland’s premier tourist destination and retail street. It vastly out-strips the Gold Coast, Port Douglas and Mooloolaba Esplanade," Mr Butler concluded.

Melbourne based property investor Jeff Xu has sold his Victoria One portfolio of five CBD strata retail properties for $13.615 million to a Melbourne based investor.
The 452 Elizabeth Street portfolio sold on a 5.5 per cent yield and at what is thought to be a record building rate of $27,230 a square metre for similar properties.
CBRE Manager, Melbourne City Sales, Nathan Mufale, who brokered the deal with National Director Investments, Mark Wizel, Leon Ma, and Ben McMahon, said the result was unprecedented for strata retail in the Melbourne CBD.
Mr Mufale said that the properties being in a booming education precinct with a strong Asian international student catchment was a key consideration behind the high level of interest the portfolio had attracted.
Confidence in this precinct is clear as this is the third strata retail transaction on Elizabeth Street within the last six weeks.  
The 452 Elizabeth Street portfolio comprises five strata retail spaces covering 500 square metres across ground, first floor and mezzanine spaces.
The portfolio has 50 metres of Elizabeth and Franklin street frontage and is located at the bottom of Golden Age’s 643 apartment tower. 
The properties are leased to established international tenants returning more than $750,000 per annum.
Mr Wizel said significant appreciation in land taxes for freehold assets was another important consideration for investors and that it was "another factor driving the increasing demand for strata retail assets in the CBD."

There was much competition at auction for two Noosaville lots in one line and a starting bid of $2 million was brought up to a final bid of $3.3 million from a buyer just north of the NSW border.
Located at 5 Gibson Road, Noosaville both Lot 4 and Lot 5 both come with new 5 year anchor tenant leases expiring in April 2024, with an additional five-year option possible.
Lot 4 at approximately 340 sqm, produces a net income of $125,175 p.a. + GST.
Lot 4 houses seven professional offices. 
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/11/14/a%20RWC%205Gibson%20Sep18%201%209.jpg" alt="">
While Lot 5, at approximately 379 sqm, produces a net income of $90,893 p.a. + GST.
The assets were marketed by Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North Commercial Property Consultant John Petralia. Mr Petralia said enquiries coming from locals, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
"Interstate buyers really appreciated the opportunity that was on offer."

A near-new petrol station in Echuca has sold for $7.5million on a 6.5% yield.
Property industry players Peter Spargo and Bill Guest were the vendors of the 161-189 Ogilvie Avenue property.
It is leased to United Petroleum and Hungry Jacks until 2028 with options to extend.
The site contains a 1,191 square metre building on a 5,240 square metre site.
Colliers International’s Daniel Wolman, Anthony Kirwan and Harry Bui in conjunction with Melcorp Commercial’s Paul Jones and Tim Spargo sold the property via an expression of interest campaign.
“The collaborative approach to the sales campaign for this regionally located property proved to be highly successful, with multiple offers received at the conclusion of the EOI process,” Wolman said.  
“The successful purchaser, a private investor from Victoria, acquired the property for $7.5million, a sale price which reflects a tight regional yield of 6.7%. 
“The sale, which has set a new benchmark for the local property market, is another sign that despite a reported cooling in market conditions and funding concerns, the market is still awash with cash buyers and is highly competitive.” 
Kirwan said buyers were increasingly looking for alternative investment options. 
“The major appeal of this asset was the high calibre tenant covenant, fixed income growth and the fact that having been so recently developed, an astute buyer could reap the rewards of newly constructed improvements and great depreciation benefits,” he said.

JLL's Retail Investments team, led by National Director Jacob Swan, have brokered a deal with a combined sale price exceeding $10 million for The Milton's retail and commercial portfolio in Brisbane's inner west.
The Milton was developed as a transport-oriented development (TOD) and incorporated within the Milton train station, approximately 2 km west of the Brisbane CBD.
The portfolio included an office component of two vacant podium suites totalling 1,237 sqm, along with a retail component of four separate retail tenancies leased to local and international food and beverage operators including Max Brenner, La Stazione and Ribs &amp; Rumps.
The retail tenancies were on long-term leases, all between seven and 10 years.
Five separate transactions were completed by the team.
The office lots were sold to separate owner-occupiers.
Sam Byrne who helped broker the deal said, "One owner-occupier relocated from Ashgrove, the other relocated from St Lucia; one is in education, the other in software development."
"The retail lots sold to a mix of private investors; one based in Cairns, the other in Brisbane," he added.
Campbell Bowers another colleague of Jacob Swan, said "the price point (sub $5million), long term leases and highly recognisable tenant profile of the retail investments was a highly sought-after proposition in the current market and therefore generated interest from an abundance of self-managed super funds and high-net-worth individuals."
"New residential apartment development is now driving population growth in Milton, typically a commercial area," Mr Bowers concluded.

An investor has snapped up a versatile Caulfield shop and dwelling with a short-term lease to a fish and chip shop prior to auction.
Fitzroys agents Jordan Ceppi and Chris Kombi, in conjunction with Tsimos Commercial’s John Black, sold 827 Glen Huntly Road for $975,000, on a 4.9% yield and land rate of $5,477 per square metre.
Zoned Commercial 1, the 170 square metre double-storey building is on a 178 square metre site and has excellent rear access via right of way.
Ceppi said the property attracted interest from a broad range of investors and owner occupiers looking to gain a presence in the boutique shopping strip, positioned near the intersection of Hawthorn Road.
“The property offered strong value add prospects, with potential to upgrade and re-lease,” he said.
Kombi said the increasing number of medium and high-density apartment developments along Glen Huntly Road and through Caulfield had served to reinforce the area’s strong catchment, as well as the property’s positioning among retailers such as Foodworks, Brumby’s Baker, 7-Eleven and Priceline Pharmacy.

Chadstone has achieved annual sales of more than $2 billion dollars in an Australian shopping centre first.
The milestone means Chadstone is again ranked among the top five best-performing shopping centres in the world by sales.
 The $2 billion is an increase of close to $400 million on the previous year, when sales came in at $1,671 billion. 
It is the first time Chadstone has reached $2 billion in a 12 month period.
▪  1960 Chadstone officially opened, built at a cost of £6,000,000 ▪  1983 John Gandel purchased Chadstone from Myer for $37m ▪  1984 The original mall was enclosed, Target added to the retail mix ▪  1986 Development included the addition of Chadstone’s first cinemas ▪  1989 Bi-Lo came to Chadstone as fresh food offer expanded ▪  1990 The Galleria Mall was built including Australia’s first food court and additional specialties ▪  1991 The first office spaces were opened at Chadstone ▪  1995 Chadstone Corner, K Mart introduced ▪  1998 Expansion included Myer, 20 specialties ▪  1999 David Jones opened along with another 40 specialty retailers ▪  2000 The Entertainment Precinct was opened – Hoyts expansion, Time Zone food, offer ▪  2007 Expansion of fresh food including Safeway and the development of a five-level office tower. ▪  2009 West Mall opened, including ground and lower ground levels, as well as luxury retailers ▪  2016 Stage 40 opened including LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, Hoyts, H&amp;M, Uniqlo, Zara, food central, dining terrace, more luxury and Tower One commercial office building.
Vicinity Centres CEO Grant Kelley said Chadstone continues to be the number one shopping, dining and entertainment destination in Australia.”
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/5/23/Chadstone%201960%20Myer.jpg" alt="">
Mr Kelley said the centre’s success was a credit to the visionary role of John Gandel who fashioned Chadstone into a world-class retail destination, and created the benchmark for Australia’s premiumshopping experience, which now attracts more than 23 million visitors every year.
“The $2 billion milestone is an opportunity to reflect on the rich history of Chadstone and the importantrole it has played in Melbourne’s shopping past and present,” Mr Kelley said.
Chadstone’s growth and evolution continues, following a $660 million major redevelopment in 2016, with the $130 million, 250-room Chadstone hotel expected to open late 2019. 
Stage 43 also includes a new food atrium and Australia’s first full-range Victoria’s Secret store. Other projects include the $17 million West Piazza redevelopment including visitor lounge and more luxury retailers in time for Christmas.
Mr Kelley said fashion remained a drawcard for Chadstone’s customers with 40 per cent of this year’s salesin the fashion category. Chadstone continued to attract a growing number of diners with 17 million people now eating at the centre each year and more than a fifth of the centre devoted to food.

Chadstone was built at a cost of approximately £6 million by the Myer family and was the first regional shopping centre in Australia when it opened in 1960. In 1983, Mr Gandel paid $37 million to acquire Chadstone when sales were approximately $100 million a year.
