Yarrabilba shopping precinct development secures major retail names

The redevelopment of a new shopping precinct in Yarrabilba is underway, with several new major names set to move into the new centre later this year.

The District Centre which spans the area between Yarrabilba Drive, Wongawallan Drive, Waldron Street and Darlington Drive, has signed Coles, McDonald’s and a family medical centre to join an IGA anchored convenience centre, 24-hour Caltex service station and Star Mart, cafes and medical centre.

Managing director of Lendlease’s communities business in Australia, Matthew Wallace, said the development was evidence of the growing popularity of Yarrabilba.

“Attracting residents and locals alike means developing a central hub with the end user in mind and catering for the needs of the community as it continually grows and evolves,” he said.

“We are focused on creating the best places and providing our residents as early as possible with options for dining, great shopping and entertainment.”

Coles state general manager, Paul Bradshaw said Coles would create around 100 retail jobs once the 3,200 square metre full line supermarket was complete.

“It is part of an investment by Coles of more than $30 million in the Logan Council over the past two years, which is testament to the confidence we have in the future of the region,” he said.

McDonald’s head of property for Queensland and Northern Territory, Luke McGuire, said they were excited to bring the latest style of McDonald’s restaurant to Yarrabilba.

“We’re dedicated to supporting the local community and, through our partnership with Lendlease and Coles, we’re looking forward to helping it grow by offering employment to approximately 90 locals,” he said.

Prices in the centre start from $270,000, commercial / mixed unit sites range from 819 square metres to 1243 square metres.
