A THRIVING Gold Coast retail hub has begun a new $20 million expansion project as part of a long-term masterplan development worth hundreds of millions.
“The northern Gold Coast is a regional destination now and trading very strong with all the housing growth. There are a lot of businesses looking to expand into the area.”
As an example of the growing
northern Gold Coast — which included Upper Coomera — Mr McLellan said Homeworld attracted 850,000 cars in its first 12 months seven years ago.
Now it attracts about 1.8 million car trips a year.
Despite not being able to discuss who prospective stage six tenants were while negotiations continued, they included medical and professional services plus retail and hospitality.
Homeworld asset manager Linda Durant said: “We have already had strong interest from medical and professional services as well as retailers and hospitality.”
It is expected stage six will be completed by late 2017.
