Constitution Place announces new retailers to enliven Canberra CBD

Four businesses have announced that they are moving into Constitution Place, Capital Property Group’s $300 million retail, dining and office precinct in Canberra’s CBD.

The Meat & Wine Co, Club Lime, Montessori Academy and Hero Sushi are set to bring new vibrancy and add greater amenity to this part of the city.

Due for completion in 2020, the Constitution Place development includes two iconic commercial buildings, including a 130-room hotel and a distinctive retail laneway between the two buildings, connecting Constitution Avenue with Canberra Theatre.

A series of outdoor public areas are being created in the large plaza between the development and the ACT Legislative Assembly, as well as an intimate “pocket park” to London Circuit.

The Meat & Wine Co will be the flagship food and beverage offering at the entry to the retail laneway. The renowned restaurant is known for its paddock-to-plate concept, exclusive line of beef and distinctive selection of wines.

“We’ve been waiting for the right opportunity and premium location to open our first the Meat & Wine Co venue in Canberra and believe Constitution Place is a perfect iconic site to showcase our food and beverage offering, personable service, afro-centric atmosphere and theatre. We are excited to share our passion and offering to the local community of Canberra very soon,” says Troy Mattingly, operations manager Australia of the Meat & Wine Co.

“It is going to be a great flagship restaurant for the vibrant precinct we are building,” says Richard Snow, head of property at Capital Property Group.

“It is a truly unique dining experience here in Canberra which is a perfect fit as we continue to add Australia’s premium brands to this iconic development.

Club Lime, part of the VIVA Leisure group, and one of the largest health and fitness providers in Australia, will be opening a state-of-the-art gym, offering Life Fitness cardio, strength equipment, free Wi-Fi, 24/7 access and modern facilities to accommodate professionals looking to get in a workout before, during or after work.

Montessori Academy’s childcare centre will deliver an exceptional early education to children aged up to six years. The daycare will be home to four spacious classrooms and play spaces, and embraces the Montessori teaching philosophy to prepare children for success in school and life through hands-on learning experiences.
