| Bovis Lend Lease to redevelop Caneland Central Following several years of research, planning and preparation, the $210 million redevelopment of Caneland Central officially started. Caneland Central's expansion will see the centre grow from 39,000sqm to 62,500sqm to include the region's first Myer, an expanded IGA supermarket, Target, Big W, Woolworths, around 240 specialty stores and additional car parking. This redevelopment is a significant project for the Mackay community, the retail industry in Australia and Lend Lease, which manages the asset. It is also the largest retail project being undertaken by Caneland Central owner, Australian Prime Property Fund Retail. Caneland Central is located in one of Australia's fastest growing regions, and is one of the highest performing assets in the Lend Lease managed portfolio. Continually delivering outstanding sales growth since opening 30 years ago, the addition of Myer will further strengthen the centre's performance and retail offer. Bovis Lend Lease is responsible for project management, design and construction, with Lend Lease design providing architecture, structural design, engineering and sustainable design services. The project, which is due for completion in 2011, will see another boost to the local economy with the creation of around 3,500 jobs during construction and operation of the redeveloped centre. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
