Farmers is to anchor a $39.9 million redevelopment of Hamilton's Centre Place, the mall's owners announced yesterday.
Farmers will move from its present position on the corner of Collingwood and Alexandra Streets to a two-storey, 7000sq m store within the new complex, which includes the former Downtown Plaza mall opposite
Centre Place.
The redevelopment is stage two of an upgrade which includes a new road layout outside the centre on Ward St, which will close between Worley Place and Anglesea St.
Worley Place would then be extended through to Garden Place so that traffic can still exit the one-way Ward St.
Closing part of Ward St will allow construction of a covered walkway between the two parts of the mall and the recently renovated food court to open out on to the street.
