Chadstone reveals first stage of $660m revamp

The first stage of Chadstone’s $660 million redevelopment was unveiled yesterday.

The redevelopment includes the Southern Hemisphere's first LEGOLAND Discovery Centre.

The development will also feature 100 new retailers, two new dining precincts, a Hoyts digital cinema complex and a Tesla Motors dealership.

The development has been under construction for more than two years and is set to be completed in mid-2017. 

Principal Andrew Mackenzie said the journey has been unlike any other he has experienced in his career.

“Buchan began work on Stage 1 of Chadstone’s redevelopment in the early 1980’s, and today we witness the extent of its incredible evolution as Stage 40 comes to life.  It has been truly remarkable watching the centre’s growth over the years and we are extremely proud to have played a leading role in the Chadstone story.

A 7000 square metre grid shell roof covers the atrium, and si 30 metres above the ground.
