Wealth manager AMP Capital has tapped Blackburne Property Group to develop 94 apartments at its $800 million Karrinyup Shopping Centre redevelopment, 12 kilometres north of Perth’s CBD.

AMP, which manages the centre on behalf of UniSuper, is almost doubling the size of the centre from 59,000sq m to 109,000 square metres.

Construction started on the expansion in late 2018, re-weighting the centre toward entertainment and food and beverage with a fresh food precinct that AMP says will create a “bustling marketplace”.

The revamp will also include a main street, piazza and corso with external landscaping and public space, almost 300 stores and a new leisure precinct which includes a state-of-the-art 10 screen cinema.
