Check out your next retail success
Frankston City’s diverse retail offering is a major attraction for its 800,000 visitors per year, local community of 141,000 and hundreds of thousands of residents from neighbouring municipalities. So there's no need to continue shopping around!
We are home to three vibrant and diverse major retail centres including Karingal Hub, Frankston Power Centre and one of the largest retail centres outside of Melbourne CBD, Vicinity's constantly evolving Bayside Retail Centre.
Frankston city centre has 82,000 sq.m of retail space (spread across the main shopping streets in the city centre), and there are over 212,000 square metres of retail space available across the vibrant destination shopping centres Bayside and the Power Centre. Karingal hub has also undergone a $160 million expansion investment, bringing its total leasable area to 53,000 sq.m.
Where else can you walk to a major shopping complex, a CBD, a train station, a large movie theatre, bowling alleys, pubs, clubs, the beach and a flora and fauna reserve?
The mix of large name outlets and home-grown original businesses makes shopping in Frankston City an attractive proposal, with plenty of opportunity and appetite for new retail possibilities to open up.
The retail sector has seen significant change over the past decade with the shift to digital and omni-channel purchasing. Critical to Frankston City’s economy and job creation, the sector has responded with innovation and community-building initiatives that create places where people want to gather and socialise, as well as visit for their daily shopping needs.
Frankston City Council’s Strategic Development Unit has research and insights into the latest activity trends in and around the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre (FMAC) to inform prospective developers about where the best locations are to build.
