Retail builder Mainbrace appointed to construct Ipswich's Yamanto Central
Retail builder Mainbrace Constructions has been appointed by development manager DMA Partners and owner JMK Retail to construct the new Yamanto Central retail development.
Located in the Ipswich suburb of Yamanto, the Yamato Central development looks to create over 500 jobs during construction.
Set to be anchored by a Coles supermarket and Kmart, the new Yamanto Central will house about 50 stores over 20,000 sqm.
Local infrastructure upgrades including extensive roadworks are a key component of the project, providing access improvements to the centre.
Yamanto Central will include on car parking for 750 cars.
Mainbrace’s involvement in the greenfield project south west of Brisbane and in the high growth area of Ipswich, adjacent to Amberley air base, began in 2017.
The company worked with DMA Partners and JMK Retail in an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) capacity to ensure the concept design is build-ready and within budget.
“The new Yamanto Central will be a state-of-the-art shopping destination which will serve a vital function in the growing local community,” Mainbrace QLD State Manager Duncan McAndrew said.
Mainbrace has recently signed nearly $90 million of new retail work in the state, with new projects for Charter Hall at Atherton, a new food store at Indooroopilly, Home Co at Springfield and the re-purposing of a former Masters bulky goods property at Everton Park.
