North-siders embrace new centre
Thousands of people have flocked to the new $35 million Northpoint Shopping Centre after it opened its doors late February.
Northpoint Shopping Centre is the latest project by experienced Toowoomba developer Hallmark Property and is the only major shopping centre in North Toowoomba area.
The new shopping centre, located on Ruthven Street in North Toowoomba, features a Coles and Aldi as well as The Reject Shop, a BWS, Newsagency, Northpoint Meats, Southerden’s Florist and specialist eateries such as Subway, Sushi, Kebab, Noodles and Phat Burgers. “We had a very successful opening which attracted thousands of people from across Toowoomba and the surrounding communities,” Mr Knox said.
“All tenants have been very impressed by the support they have received from the community and we have received some wonderful feedback about our location and layout of the centre.” He said Northpoint Shopping Centre’s location was the perfect fit for a new shopping and medical precinct.
“This location, on Ruthven Street in North Toowoomba, is currently under-serviced in retail facilities for the local area and surrounding communities,” Mr Knox said. “With Northpoint Shopping Centre located only 3km north of the Toowoomba CBD and prominently positioned fronting onto two main arterial roads, Ruthven and North Streets, people travelling to these outlying areas will be able to conveniently access these facilities.” The centre also includes a number of allied health facilities and a new Priceline Pharmacy. “The inclusion of a medical and allied health precinct at Northpoint Shopping Centre will be the only one of its kind in the catchment area,” Mr Knox said. “Already we have six doctors working out of the centre and a number of allied health services including a physiotherapist and a dentist and a Sullivan and Nicolaides will also be opening in the near future.”
