Neeta City Shopping Centre
in Fairfield, Sydney in 1994. The centre comprised of a Target
Discount Department Store, Woolworth's Supermarket, Bi Lo Supermarket and
67 speciality shops. The sales were depressed, customers were not coming in and
retailers were moving out. The flawed customer traffic flow was caused by too many
entrances and poor anchoring of the centre, where one end of the centre was
left almost
vacant. During the redesign and redevelopment work,
Woolworth’s was relocated to the underperforming end of the centre to give a
good
reason to customers to visit that end area of the centre. The old
supermarket site was divided into smaller tenancies including Best and
Less, Westpac, Retravision and many others. Since the redevelopment, new
tenancies have been attracted, Sports girl, Australia Post, McDonald's, SydneyWater, Tandy and many more tenants were attracted to complete the tenancy
mix.It was sold in February 1996 for more than 3 times its purchase price. The
centre was now fully occupied and trading well.
