Can you tell us a little bit about your homemaker centres?
Pimpama Home Focus is the first of Baycrown Property Group’s rollout of Large Format Retail developments, having previously only purchased existing centres.
As of right now, it includes a Bunnings, BP Service Station and Guzman Y Gomez. A health and wellbeing hub will open in December 2021 and will include a gym, physio, medical centre, and Chemist Warehouse.
Following that, the first of the Large Format Retailers will be welcomed to the centre with construction about to start on an 8,000m2 building to include the likes of Officeworks, RSEA and Petbarn.
Upon completion the centre will provide 50,000 m2+ of lettable area.
Carseldine Home Focus (known previously as Carseldine Homemaker Centre) was purchased in 2009. This Brisbane centre is 14,500m2 and tenants include JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Supercheap Auto and Beacon Lighting.
In south-west Sydney, Bankstown Home Focus is 18,000 m2 and tenants include Autobarn and RSEA Safety.
Baycrown also owned The Zone Underwood prior to selling it to Clarence Property in 2017.
We cannot understate how excited we are about Pimpama!
We expect the next stage to be open in time for the Christmas break… which is a great gift! Better than socks.
Simultaneously, we are focused on delivering varying stages of our land subdivisions in Queensland and Victoria.
