Vicinity Centres

A mall leasing kiosk is often just the start of the journey 🛍 That’s the case for Trinny London at Emporium Melbourne where the UK skincare and makeup brand worked with Vicinity’s Leasing and Centre team to introduce its first standalone Melbourne CBD presence. But it wasn’t all straight forward. Find out how the Vicinity team, led by Danielle Nohra and Gabrielle McAsey, worked with Trinny London to find the perfect space, despite a fully leased centre, and what the next chapter holds for Trinny London at Emporium Melbourne. https://lnkd.in/gmQBZWhU [Image description: A white Trinny London branded counter with yellow accents, lights and mirrors] #Vicinity #ShoppingCentres #Leasing

Today we launched our refreshed Purpose, Vision and Values. Last year, we launched our refreshed strategy which provided the road map for our long-term success. Today our teams celebrated the launch of our new purpose, vision and values which guides why we do what we do, and how we do what we do. What’s special about our new purpose, vision and values is that they were created in collaboration with our teams, providing all with a sense of ownership and belonging. To see what we’ve chosen as the foundations for our culture today and in the future, head to our website (you can also explore future opportunities to work with us there too!) 👇 🖱 https://lnkd.in/g36UJsmp #Vicinity #WeAreVicinity #ShoppingCentres

New flagships, stores and pop ups. We've seen it all in the first half of the year for leases! At each of our centres across the country, we’ve welcomed new retailers, expanded store spaces, exciting new flagships, and eye-catching pop ups. Using data and insights combined with local market knowledge, we’ve helped online retailers like July settle in physical spaces, helped established overseas brands like Trinny London grow a footprint in Australia, and unveiled some landmark flagship stores that are bigger, better, and more creative than before. From Lululemon’s stunning new flagship at Chadstone – The Fashion Capital, to the exquisite Arc'teryx boutique in Sydney’s The Galeries, and Bunnings at Colonnades in Adelaide, there's a lot to love! Discover how our nationwide leasing team helps retailers find the perfect space 👇 https://lnkd.in/gtYMCKVg [Image description: a grey concrete shop entrance with wood detail and a Lululemon logo; a curved row of mannequins wearing Lululemon active wear; glass fronted entrance to Arc'Teryx store; a large green Bunnings store and carpark] #Vicinity #shoppingcentres #leasing

NAIDOC Week celebrations are in full swing at our centres across the country 👏 A key component of our Reconciliation Action Plan is to build respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and NAIDOC Week celebrations at our centres have done just that. At Elizabeth City Centre in South Australia, customers explored Maara Dreaming – a collection of hand-crafted indigenous artefacts displayed in centre, telling a story of the Kaurna people. In Melbourne, Northland celebrated with a Welcome to Country followed by Indigenous dancers representing five local tribes before customers had the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities and exercises exploring how they could help ‘Keep the Fire Burning’. Nationwide, our teams have utilised what is Australia’s largest shopping centre media network to share NAIDOC Week creative assets all week, from Emporium Melbourne’s five-level split screens to Uptown’s giant atrium screen.

That’s a wrap on Pride month 2024 🌈 Building on the momentum of last year’s Pride month, our teams across the country continued our message of inclusivity in different, and more creative ways. At our centres, in-centre and digital channels promoted the now familiar Open to All messages, reminding the community that all are welcome at our centres. There was also a return of drag trivia which saw our teams in the room and online compete and even have a dance here and there. And most creatively, our Pride and Allies Employee Advisory Group, helped teams learn a little more about the LGBTQIA+ arts community with a self-produced three-part podcast series that shines a light on queer / LGBTQIA+ artists including Janelle Monae, Umi, and Frank Ocean. #Vicinity #ShoppingCentres #Pride2024

Can an online brand move into physical retail? That’s exactly what popular Melbourne-born travel accessories brand, July did at a handful of Vicinity centres with the guidance of Vicinity’s leasing team.

Keep an eye out for the sunflowers 🌻 As part of our commitment to inclusivity, acceptance, and support for individuals living with non-visible disabilities, our centres are proudly adopting the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program. The Sunflower Program helps people discreetly indicate their need for assistance by wearing a sunflower pin, wristband, or lanyard. Launched at each of our centres across the country, the Sunflower Program will help support a significant part of our community with around one in five Australians living with a disability, with an estimated 80 per cent of disabilities invisible.
