History and Development

Stockland released a concept plan for the Glendale Super Centre in 1994. It was being developed as a US-style power centre consisting of category killer traders, where tenants traded in an open-air environment and there was no internal malls. The tenants listed in the proposal included Target, Woolworths, Franklins Big Fresh, World 4 Kids and Best & Less, and room had been provided for about 50 specialty stores, including free-standing fast food outlets.
