Merchant St upgrade
Lend Lease is upgrading part of Merchant St in an attempt to create a stronger hospitality precinct in Victoria Harbour.
Work on the upgrade on the western side of Merchant St started in December and is expected to be complete by May.
“The aim is to create a high quality, visually interesting retail area that is suitable for high-quality hospitality retailers,” a Lend Lease spokesperson said.
“We have partnered with retail experts Six Degrees Architects to design an interesting and modern, retail-friendly scheme.”
The spokesperson said new tenants had been secured for four of the five retail spaces and two new businesses had already opened.
