Information from Lakeside Joondalup |
Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City is a major shopping centre, located in Joondalup, a satellite city in the north of Perth. It is located next to Grand Boulevard and is adjacent to the Joondalup railway station. It is currently the largest shopping centre in Western Australia.
Construction of the centre commenced in 1991, and it opened in late November 1994. It celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2004.
The centre has undergone a number of relevant extensions and developments since opening.
The cinema, originally opened as a Greater Union was constructed on top of the Joondalup Line railway reserve and opened in 1998. Post 2000, the cinema was then sold to Grand Cinemas.
In 1999, the centre has added a new Department Store (Target) in the South-west corner. The area was originally left vacant and was secured until the construction phase began.
Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City was developed extensively between 2006 and 2007, the complex expanded to about twice of its original size. The redevelopment was completed in late 2008.
Valued at A$116 million (2006), the expansion included a new major supermarket, department store and some 100 speciality stores, as well as adding a four storey parking structure of 1,710 new car bays located on the south eastern side of the site. The new extensions connect with the existing centre via an enclosed area over Station Square. As part of the extension, ING Real Estate's existing "air rights lease" over the railway line was converted to freehold title. It was a condition of development approval that public access be maintained from the commencement to cessation of rail services at the adjoining Joondalup Interchange.
The first portion of Stage 3 was opened to the public on December 7, 2007. This portion included the Fashion Mall (located within the old East Mall area), the Station Square precinct, the relocated Food Court, as well as a small selection of speciality retail stores.
The Second portion of Stage 3 was opened to the public in April 2008. This allowed access between the lower part of the centre to the adjoining road of Boas Ave. The remainder of Stage 3 was opened to the public on the 4th of December, 2008
In 2010 the centre was sold as part of the ING Retail Property Fund to a consortium led by Lend Lease Group and the Australian Government Future Fund in a deal worth $1.4B.
