Stage 1 of Richmond Mall Reimagined will open in September.

The multi-stage renewal of the entire shopping centre began in March with the Stage 1 rebuild of the south-east side of the mall. It’s involved the old facade wall coming down, a new external wall being built and a new roof put in place, while behind the scenes are critical upgrades to infrastructure and essential services.

Internal tenancy fit-outs in Stage 1 will start shortly, with this side of the mall due to open in September before the more significant Stage 2 construction starts at the Pak ’n Save side.

Designs for the Stage 2 programme are being finalised, but the development proposal includes a brand-new food area and all-day dining options that open onto Sundial Square.

Pak ’n Save is also getting a major expansion, and there will be a new lineup of specialty fashion and lifestyle retailers, to be announced at a later date.
