History

Carlingford Court opened in 1965 as Carlingford Village on a former orchard and nursery site. The centre featured Farmers (rebranded to Grace Bros in the early 1980s and Myer in 2004), Franklins and around 50 stores. In the 1970s, the centre went a redevelopment and it was renamed Carlingford Court.[2]

In 1983 Lend Lease Corporation took ownership of the centre until July 1996 when GPT Group acquired the centre. The centre was redeveloped in 1987 and 1989 which added Target, 40 stores and a food court including fast food outlets.[3] In 1998 Woolworths was refurbished. In 2000, a $40 million upgrade saw the shopping centre gain a Coles supermarket (replacing a Franklins), Fitness First and add 3,000 m² of floor space.[4][5]

On 31 March 2006, the 8,000 m² Myer store closed down. Target which relocated from its space on the other side of the centre opened on the space previously occupied by Myer on both levels making it the only store in Sydney to be two storeys.[6] The store opened in November 2006. Target's original space was filled by Bing Lee, Go-Lo and Priceline in April and June 2007.[7]

In December 2013, Federation Limited (since renamed to Vicinity Centres) and "an unnamed superannuation fund" formed a joint venture which acquired the Carlingford Court centre from GPT Group.[8]

Tenants

Carlingford Court has 33,296m² of floor space. The major retailers include Target, Coles, Woolworths and Fitness First.
