Westfield Warringah Mall (previously known as Warringah Mall) is a large indoor/outdoor shopping centre in the suburb of Brookvale, in Sydney, Australia.
Warringah Mall opened on 4 April 1963 and was developed by Hammerson Group around with around 53 stores, including H. G. Palmer (closed 1965), Nock & Kirby, Grace Brothers, Woolworths and David Jones. Ten years later, the centre saw the opening of a new Grace Brothers store which was upgraded from a homemakers store. In 1973, a fire broke out in the original Woolworths store with 2 people died in the fire. Fifty more speciality stores have also opened, followed by the opening of the Hoyts Twin Cinema Complex in the early 1980s. Warringah Mall was featured in the movie BMX Bandits with two young BMX experts, P.J. (Angelo D'Angelo) and Goose (James Lugton), meet Judy (Nicole Kidman). In the mid-1980s, a Target store was opened along with 20 speciality stores. Warringah Mall was included in the sale of Hammerson's Australian property portfolio to AMP Capital in 1994.
In the late 1990s, the centre was expanded, with Woolworths having been relocated. The centre opened in December 1999, with approximately additional 90 stores. The development included an additional food court, extra cinemas, another 60 speciality stores, followed by the opening of a Coles Supermarket and Dick Smith Electronics Powerhouse in 2000.
In October 2012, AMP Capital and the Westfield Group swapped interests in seven centres, including Warringah Mall which became a 50/50 joint venture between the two companies. As part of the deal, centre management transferred from AMP to Westfield with the centre rebranded Westfield Warringah Mall. In July 2014, as part of a restructure of the Westfield Group, it came under the control of the Scentre Group.
