Vicinity Centres and LVMH extend strategic partnership, reinforcing Chatswood Chase as northern Sydney’s fashion capital

Vicinity Centres (Vicinity) is delighted to announce the extension of its strategic partnership with global luxury powerhouse, the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy Group (LVMH).

Building on Vicinity’s strong partnership with LVMH at Chadstone in Victoria and QueensPlaza in Queensland, this next chapter will see LVMH’s portfolio of iconic Maisons anchor the reimagined Chatswood Chase, thereby reinforcing its position as Sydney’s newest fashion capital.

Rivalled only by Chadstone, Chatswood Chase will house a comprehensive collection of globally coveted luxury brands, complemented by an elite mix of premium Australian and international designer fashion, along with a curated selection of on-trend athleisure and expanding lifestyle brands.

Peter Huddle, CEO and Managing Director of Vicinity Centres, said: “We are delighted to extend our strategic partnership with LVMH, welcoming twelve flagship LVMH brands to Chatswood Chase. Our enduring partnership with LVMH is built on a deep understanding of luxury retail, mutual trust, and a shared commitment to creating long-term value.”

Marco Comazzi, President South Asia of Louis Vuitton, added: “Australia remains a strategically important market for Louis Vuitton, and we are committed to strengthening our presence to offer exceptional services and experiences to our Australian clients. The revitalisation of Chatswood Chase presents an opportunity to bring our Spirit of Travel and ongoing celebration of culture and craftsmanship to life.”

Chatswood Chase’s landmark transformation is redefining luxury retail, with a complete revitalisation and elevation of the centre’s design across all four floors, including the addition of a rooftop lifestyle and wellness precinct. The redevelopment is focused on delivering an experience that is commensurate with the world’s best premium shopping destinations.

The redeveloped Chatswood Chase is opening in two phases, with the first phase commencing from October 2025, in time for Christmas. This initial opening will unveil the centre’s ground level along with levels two and three and will introduce a refreshed fashion and expanded lifestyle offering.

The eagerly anticipated opening of northern Sydney’s most comprehensive luxury retail precinct is expected to launch from April 2026, featuring some of the world’s most recognisable luxury brands alongside LVMH’s portfolio of Maisons, marking a major milestone in the centre’s evolution.

Mr Huddle concluded, “As demonstrated by today’s announcement, Vicinity’s willingness, and importantly, its capability to invest in and deliver large scale, transformational developments continue to be a competitive advantage for Vicinity, today and for the long-term.

“Together with our retail partners, we are proud and excited to bring the Chatswood Chase project to market, a first of its kind destination for Sydney’s highly affluent North Shore communities.”
