Westfield Carindale became the first shopping centre in Queensland to carry two major department stores at once when David Jones joined Myer in March 1999, a distinction that still shapes the centre’s positioning against Brisbane’s other regional malls. Both anchors remain in place.
A 2010-2012 redevelopment added a full-line Coles supermarket and a larger, relocated Target, plus a fashion precinct introducing Adidas, Aesop, Kookai and Mecca Maxima to the centre. Big W covers the additional discount tier, and a new Event Cinemas complex anchors entertainment.
The Glasshouse Dining Precinct, added in the same redevelopment, gave the centre a premium food and beverage destination alongside its retail floor, and a Brisbane City Council library extends its role into civic infrastructure.
Across more than 450 specialty stores and close to 6,000 parking spaces, Carindale serves Brisbane’s eastern suburbs as a full-format regional destination. For a brand assessing east Brisbane, the dual department-store anchor remains the centre’s defining commercial argument.
