Bayside Shopping Centre
Bayside Shopping Centre (colloquially known as "Bayside") is a regional shopping centre in Frankston, Victoria, Australia, approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of Melbourne CBD. Since its opening in 1972, it has amassed a combined gross leasable area of 88,843 m2 (956298 sq ft), 3,452 parking spaces and over 200 retail outlets. The center consists of 5 distinct main sections, 3 of which operated independently before merging into a single megastore in the late 1990s.
Frankston's CBD originally featured three distinct main shopping centres: Bayside, Balmoral Arcade and Quayside. These would later form into the Bayside Shopping Centre as known today.
The original Bayside Shopping Centre opened on 3 October 1972, located between Beach Street and Ross Smith Avenue. It launched with the anchor tenants of a Myer department store, a McEwans hardware store (now known as Bunnings, moved to the Frankston Power Centre), a Ritchies (IGA) supermarket and 52 speciality stores. It was owned by the National Mutual Life Association of Australasia.
Balmoral Arcade, a former distinct shopping centre, was developed in 1973 by Hanover Holdings at the western end of Station Street, between Shannon Street (now a pedestrian mall) and Key Street, opening with 19 speciality stores.
Quayside Shopping Centre debuted in 1991 in the area between the aforementioned stores, located on the former car-park between Ross Smith Avenue and Station Street. It featured a Target department store, Coles supermarket and 72 speciality stores. The Bayside and Quayside malls were now additionally linked by an enclosed pedestrian path straight through Ross Smith Avenue.
John Gandel who owned Quayside acquired Bayside and Balmoral during the late-1990s. Subsequent ownership transfers would place it under the administration of CFS Retail Property Trust (and later, Vicinity Centres). CFS Retail Property Trust would be the one upgrading the premises from now.
In 2004, Bayside underwent a $63 million redevelopment including a new multi-storey carpark and 55 new stores including a Kmart, Aldi and Woolworths. A second-floor bridge was also erected over Beach Street to accommodate pedestrian activity and traffic between the two sections. The development was completed and opened to the public in March 2006.
An entertainment precinct on Wells Street, accessible from the Shannon Street Mall, was constructed and featured a 12 screen Australian Multiplex Cinema complex (now run under Hoyts), a Strike Bowling Bar, Holey Moley and 10 restaurants/food outlets.
