The Springwood Mall, located in Logan City in Queensland, Australia, is being redeveloped with an investment of approximately A$16m ($12.46m).
The redevelopment project will expand the sub-regional shopping centre’s retail space to offer an improved shopping experience for customers.
Australian construction company Kane Constructions was awarded the design and build contract for the shopping centre redevelopment project in May 2021. Being implemented in stages, the project is set for completion by June 2022.
