Bourke Street Mall has introduced Melbourne Walk, featuring 6295sqm retail space along with a dual-branded hospitality precinct.
The development, dubbed ‘The Walk’ and designed by architecture firm Buchan, is a combination of the retail three-level podium with the city’s pedestrian network.
“Melbourne Walk is a celebration of the city’s rich and unique identity,” said Hayden Djakic, Buchan spokesperson. “The design enhances the cross-city pedestrian network and merges retail glamour with the gritty laneway culture of contemporary Melbourne to create a memorable destination.”
In addition, the destination offers dining and a bar area, as well as food and beverage shopfronts on the Causeway-bound laneway.
The design combines eight buildings and four heritage-listed facades into a single merged precinct.
“Melbourne Walk will bring a groundswell of people back into the city to experience the flagship retail, with high-profile retailers already open, and will breathe new life into the Bourke Street Mall,” said Djakic.
