Doma Group has won the contract for the $200 million redevelopment of the land, next to the Newcastle Interchange train station at Wickham, the state government announced on Friday.
The historic facade of The Store building won’t be spared when it is demolished later this year, to be replaced with 13,000 square metres of office space, retail premises and unit towers – expected to become Newcastle’s tallest buildings.
Concept art released on Friday shows the towers emerging from the top of the oval shaped bus interchange – which sits under a carpark – while a new office block with ground floor retail space replaces the existing multi-level carpark on the corner of Stewart Avenue and Hunter Street.
Doma Group will also build a bus interchange.
The decision to not preserve the facade of The Store was slammed by the National Trust.
