The store’s design includes LED lighting and energy-efficient air conditioning, according to the release. These features are presented as part of the sustainability considerations in the project’s design and delivery; the announcement provides no further environmental performance data.
What is an anchor tenant in a shopping centre?
An anchor tenant is a major retailer or other prominent business that helps attract visitors to a shopping centre. Its presence can support activity for nearby shops by bringing customers to the centre, though the effect varies by location and circumstances.
Sustainability was also top of mind in the store’s design and delivery with LED lights and energy-efficient air conditioning fitted throughout.
Welcoming Bunnings Warehouse to the portfolio is another demonstration of Vicinity’s broader Leasing strategy to provide communities with a diverse mix of the best local and international retailers for customers to shop, play, stay, and work.
