About the project

Emporium Melbourne will host 225 stores of premium retail space in the heart of Melbourne's CBD.

Set to open in late 2013, Emporium Melbourne will feature a mix of Australian and International designers, innovative concept and flagship stores and world class architecture. The complex will also link with the Myer Melbourne department store and to David Jones via pedestrian bridges and tunnels.

Located on Lonsdale Street, Emporium Melbourne is at the heart of the city centre and will offer access to train stations, Melbourne Central and Flinders Street. 

The centre promises to deliver a world class retail experience effortlessly integrating a fusion of fashion, culture, food and art.
