History

The Glen first opened in 1967 with a Woolworths, a department store called Lindsays which was later taken over by Target, and 30 specialty shops and 600 car parking spaces. It was owned by the Shell and BHP Superannuation Funds. In 1991, the centre expanded to 120 stores, including a Best & Less and 2,000 car parking spaces. In addition, a food court, multiple levels of undercover car parking and travelators were added. At this point, Centro Properties took over the management of the centre. In February 1994, Centro acquired a 50% interest in the centre at a cost of A$37 million, with the two superannuation funds retaining 25% each; the Safeway was redeveloped at this time.

A major expansion in 1996 costing A$8 million saw the number of retailers expand to 170, including the opening of the first suburban David Jones store in Melbourne, with an official launch on 22 May 1996. In August 1999, a new consortium, Glen Property Trust in which Centro had a 50% interest, bought out the superannuation funds' stake in the centre at a price of A$81.5 million, taking Centro's stake in the centre to 75%. In June 2000, Centro acquired the final 25% share.

Redevelopment

In July 2015, the Council approved plans for a $500 million redevelopment of the centre including a new public square area, an expansion of the actual centre with 100 new speciality stores as well as three apartment towers.

On March 15 2017, plans for the upgrade were unveiled. 100 speciality stores will be added (including local, national and international retailers), bringing the total number of stores at The Glen to over 240. A "next generation" David Jones store (similar to that of Eastland) will also open. The total area of the centre will increase to approximately 78,000 square metres of gross lettable area. The redevelopment is set to be completed by 2020 and will take place in 5 stages:

Stage 1

Stage 1 will include the Fresh Food Market Hall & Everyday Needs section which is expected to be completed by late 2017. This stage will include a brand new Aldi Supermarket.

Stage 2

Stage 2 of the development will mark the opening of the New Food Gallery which will be opened in early 2018.

Stage 3

Stage 3 of the expansion will involve the opening of the Fashion & Lifestyle wing, expected to open late in 2018.

Stage 4

The fourth stage of the expansion will include the opening of the new David Jones store as well as the Premium Fashion mall & New Town Square.

Stage 5

The fifth and final stage of the redevelopment features the mini majors precinct, expected to open in early 2020.
