An Italian restaurant and gym are some of the businesses to debut at an $800m mixed-use development at Merrylands, which is due to open next year.
All the retail spaces at The Gladstone Village have been fully leased or sold after being on the market for less than six months, Aland chief executive George Tadrosse confirmed.
“We envisage that the retail offering at The Gladstone Village will be a drawcard for residents and nonresidents alike,” he said.
Several businesses, including Granata’s Italian restaurant, Desi Cutz barber, a fitness centre, Mini Masterminds childcare centre and a grocer are slated to open with the development, which will have 1100 apartments.
Retailers will occupy the ground floor and level one of The Gladstone Village, with spaces ranging from 95sq m to 1100sq m.
“Whether you need a quick coffee, want to get fit, drop the kids at childcare or buy some fresh ingredients for the evening meal, it’s all right here in one place,” Mr Tadrosse said.
The new retail precinct forms part of the developer’s 2.5-hectare masterplanned community.
Aland development project manager Monique Hrsto said the area was already “highly activated” because of its proximity to Stockland shopping centre.
“We saw a huge demand for these spaces from retailers attracted by the masterplanned community, which has the potential to have up to 3000 residents living there once it’s completed,” she said.
“We’ve carefully selected a range of tenants that we believe will create an exciting retail precinct that offers a mix of hospitality, shopping options and essential services that people are looking for,” Ms Hrsto said.
