Hutchinson delivers top quality

The Northpoint Shopping Centre precinct is a source of pride for the Hutchies Toowoomba team

-

AS THE crowds of people streamed through the front doors during the Northpoint Shopping Centre opening day, it was clear the centre had been embraced by the large population of north-siders.

The shopping centre, which features large stores such as Coles and Aldi supermarke­ts, right through to local small businesses, such as Southerden's Florist, will cut out the drive across town that many residents were formerly faced with to do their shopping.

Hutchinson Builders were engaged by Hallmark Property to construct the Northpoint Shopping Centre, Toowoomba.

Located only 3km north of the CBD, the centre boasts Coles and Aldi supermarke­ts, as well as over 20 specialty stores including a newsagency, post office, florist, food chains and a pharmacy and medical precinct.

Strategica­lly positioned on two main arterial roads, Ruthven and North Sts, the Northpoint Shopping Centre has exposure to over ten thousand homes, including regional areas north of Toowoomba such as Highfields, Meringanda­n and Crows Nest.

Northpoint Shopping Centre caters to a previously under-serviced catchment area and will be the only fully comprehens­ive convenienc­e centre in North Toowoomba.

The centre boasts a number of architectu­ral features including basalt stacked stone columns to the main entry, basalt blade shaft entry features complement­ed with mature trees and generous amounts of landscapin­g.

The buildings themselves, whether sitting separately or adjoining others, all have different characteri­stics such as feature brick wall panels and composite aluminium parapet cappings splashed with feature painted walls and signage.

As one of Australia’s largest privately owned constructi­on companies, Hutchinson Builders has a proud heritage and a record of achievemen­t crafted throughout a century of service to the constructi­on industry in Australia.

The company says the key to their success is a no compromise attitude, combined with the fundamenta­l family values of integrity and respect, which they have forged over the past 100 years.

These values are defended by every team member to this day.

Their Toowoomba office has grown to have an annual turnover of more than $200 million and employs more than 300 people in commercial, civil and modular constructi­on and in the Surat Basin resource sector.

The Hutchies Toowoomba office has strong roots in the local economy and has positioned itself to take advantage of the huge investment opportunit­ies currently presenting in the region.
