Ten million shoppers a year. That’s Westfield Liverpool for you. A retail giant. A place of constant motion and energy. It’s not just a shopping centre. It’s a community hub. A landmark.
Westfield Liverpool opened in 1971. Back then it was far smaller. It has grown. Expanded. It’s been redeveloped several times. It’s now over 85000 square meters. Think of that. That’s a huge footprint.
In 2019 a massive redevelopment plan was announced. A $93 million investment. This would add almost 17000 square meters. New shops. A new eight-story commercial tower. An upgraded cinema. A dining and entertainment precinct. Even better parking.
The redevelopment was a response to Liverpool’s growth. Western Sydney is booming. The area is seeing massive infrastructure upgrades. This includes the Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct and the new Western Sydney Airport. Westfield Liverpool is preparing for a huge increase in shoppers. Projections show a 40% increase in the trade area population by 2031.
Before the redevelopment Westfield Liverpool already had impressive numbers. In 2017 there were 14.9 million customer visits. Annual retail sales reached $515 million. Imagine what those numbers will be after this massive makeover. Westfield Liverpool was Australia’s 40th largest shopping centre. After the redevelopment it’ll be closer to 25th.
This isn’t just about shopping. The redevelopment creates jobs. Lots of jobs. In retail hospitality and entertainment. New opportunities for the local community. For local residents. For investors.
Westfield Liverpool is more than bricks and mortar. It’s a symbol of progress. Of growth. Of the bright future of Liverpool. It’s a place where people come together. To shop to eat to relax. To be part of something bigger. It’s a dynamic heart. The beating heart of Western Sydney. The heart of Liverpool’s future. A place you’ll want to return to. Again and again.
