Ownership

Tuggeranong Hyperdome

South.Point Tuggeranong is a regional shopping centre with a Gross Lettable Area of 70,298 square metres. The centre was established in 1987 and is managed by Leda Holdings.

History

It was officially opened in 1987 as Hyperdome Shopping Centre and has had incremental expansions over time. It underwent subsequent development and expansion between 1997 and 1999.^[1]^[2] It was designed by the architects of Donald Crone and Associates. The nearby Tuggeranong Markets were built in the 1990s, but they eventually became part of the Hyperdome site as the Tuggeranong Lifestyle Centre. In 2006 when Centro became managers as well as part owners of the shopping centre, a minor redevelopment of the shopping centre was completed. The development included refurbishment of the inner and outer facades, additional retail stores, new Centro Signature sections and construction also began on a new dining and entertainment precinct along Anketell Street.^[1] This outdoor precinct was later named SouthLife on Anketell.^{[citation needed]} From 1 December 2016 Leda Holdings regained full ownership and management of the centre. It was renamed South.Point on 10 May 2018.^[3] (although many locals who lived in the area before May 2018 still call it the Hyperdome).
