Chatswood Chase

Lease Area Surveys

Our Company has been involved with the Chatswood Chase Shopping Centre from its construction in the 1980's to the present.

In the late 1990's and early this century, it underwent a major renovation to turn it into an A Grade Shopping centre that was competitive with the nearby Westfield Development.

Chatswood Chase now attracts some of the highest returns per square metre for shopping centres within the Sydney metropolitan area.

After its refurbishment, we were responsible for preparing lease area plans for over 100 retail shops within the centre, including David Jones, Coles and Kmart.
