Eastland shopping centre yesterday unveiled the next phase of its development with a new gallery and 80 new brands added.

Eastland has added a new galleria, home to 80 brands, and ‘The Arcade’, a boutique space dedicated to crafted accessories and championing up-and-coming designers.

“Eastland is a world class urban renewal project that sets a new benchmark in Australia for consumer experience,” said Steve Edgerton, Eastland GM.

“The addition of The Arcade and new galleria today complements the arrival of CBD style dining at Town Square, landmark architecture, art work by David Bromley as well as iconic Australian and international brands which we welcomed to our collection last October.

“Eastland is the only retail destination in Melbourne’s East that has every major Australian retailer and supermarket in one place alongside international favourites H&M, Uniqlo and coveted fashion brands such as Scanlan Theodore, Camilla and sass & bide and a world class dining destination – Town Square recently joined by Johnny De Francesco’s iconic 400 Gradi which is scheduled to open in the coming months and the Kevin Chi’s Golden Duck that also opened this week.

Fashion and lifestyle brands who opened yesterday included Bonds, Tiger Mist, Levi’s, Bardot Junior, Adairs Kids, Build a Bear Workshop and Wheel & Barrow.
