WERRIBEE Plaza will receive a $370 million facelift, including a name change, the company that owns it has announced.
Construction is set to begin next month and the redevelopment will expand the centre’s size by over 35,000 square metres with new fashion, fresh food, dining and entertainment precincts.
It will also receive a change in name, with the plaza now to be known as Pacific Werribee, a name taken from its parent company, The Pacific Group of Companies.
Graham Terry from The Pacific Group of Companies said the centre would become premier retail destination in Melbourne’s West.
“Pacific Werribee’s development will cement its position as the leading shopping centre in the heart of the West and is a major asset for the rapidly growing community in the surrounding suburbs,” Mr Terry said.
“We are committed to building our flagship property into more than a shopping centre. We are becoming a destination that offers more lifestyle choices for the growing population and changing demographic in Melbourne’s West.”
