Spanish giant Zara has unveiled its next Australian location.
The fashion label has confirmed its entrance into Western Australia in late august, via its first store in the state at Perth shopping centre, Garden City.
The centre, owned by AMP Capital, will host 10th Zara store to open in Australia – three years after the opening of its flagship stores in Sydney’s Pitt Street Mall and Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall.
Zara has confirmed that the new Garden City store will offer its full line of women’s, men’s and children’s clothing.
AMP Capital Shopping Centres managing director Bryan Hynes said Zara's choice of Garden City as its first location in WA “acknowledges the centre’s excellent foot traffic and reputation”.
“Demand from international retailers shows a strong belief in the booming Perth market and Garden City as a good investment option for their popular stores. This is an exciting time for Garden City with AMP Capital’s plans to redevelop and expand the centre by 48,000 square metres recently approved by the WA Planning Commission.
“AMP Capital’s redevelopments will see some of Australia’s most iconic centres like Garden City transformed into fashion, leisure and lifestyle hubs.
“We’re reshaping the future of shopping centres with $2.8 billion in redevelopments planned across Australia and New Zealand, providing engaging and inspiring retail environments.”
Zara is part of the world's largest apparel retailer, Inditex, which also owns European brands Massimo Dutti, Oysho and Pull and Bear. Zara has more than 2,000 stores worldwide.
AMP Capital’s proposed $750 million redevelopment of Garden City - which will see the centre grow to120,000 square metres in size - will be the largest shopping centre development to be approved in WA.
