Harbour Town Stage 2

The project included:

• Upgrade of the northern entry and outdoor mall
• New gabled entry statement
• Replacement of a large section of the plaza roof with an aluminium batten glazed roof
• Shopfront glazing upgrades
• Cladding replacement
• Feature lighting and landscaping
• High-quality amenities upgrade, including revised layouts and Corian vanities

The works were delivered within a live retail environment, requiring careful staging around public access, tenant operations and changing leasing commitments. Mykra programmed both day and night shifts and undertook nightly demobilisation so the centre could trade each day without visual obstructions or disruption to customers.

Early intrusive investigations identified deficiencies within the existing cladding substrates before construction commenced, allowing these works to be incorporated into the Head Contract and reducing the risk of delays during delivery. As construction progressed, undocumented in-wall services and an existing sewer connection approximately two metres below the slab required redesign of the proposed amenities layouts. Mykra developed practical solutions with the client and project team while maintaining programme momentum and responding to evolving tenant requirements.

The upgrade delivers an enhanced retail environment, with improved entrances, amenities and public spaces that support the ongoing operation of Harbour Town Premium Outlets.

Despite the complexities of a live retail environment, changing tenant requirements and latent site conditions, the project was delivered, demonstrating Mykra’s ability to manage complex retail upgrades.
