There is even more to love at Westfield Figtree from tomorrow

Tomorrow Westfield Figtree will open the doors with even more to love, with the completed $20 million redevelopment which began in February 2008.

This has seen Westfield Figtree centre size increase by 1,850sqm to an expanded 21,770sqm and created space for 22 new retailers. The new includes fashion stores Autograph, Katies and Tree of Life, plus others such as The Reject Shop and EB Games.

During the construction of the Westfield Figtree, sustainability was a focus and to achieve this, this team developed recycling methods for waste materials as well as fitting all new light fittings with energy efficient globes.

The ambiant upgrade has added new tiling throughout the entire centre, timber ceiling fans and lighting which will all work to make the centre appear much fresher and brighter - thus an even more enjoyable location to do your fashion shopping. Now what's not to love about that!

For more details on tomorrow's launch, which will include everything from entertainment, kids activities to a host of special offers please go to the Westfield Figtree launch page
