To support Wilton’s rapidly expanding population and increasing retail demand, Metro Property Development (Metro) has sold its retail neighbourhood centre site in Bingara Gorge to Coles.
Wollondilly Shire Council approved a development application in June 2023 for a full-line supermarket, complementary speciality stores, convenient car parking and click and collect services. This retail precinct is located at 30 Pembroke Parade, Wilton.
Luke Hartman, Managing Director at Metro Property Development comments, “Metro made the strategic decision to sell the development site to Coles to reinforce the company’s commitment to community development and confidence in Coles’ ability to enhance Bingara Gorge’s convenience retail offering.
“Metro and Coles’ shared vision is to deliver a high-quality retail asset for the community in the growing Wilton 2040 NSW priority growth precinct. The addition of Coles will provide convenient access to groceries and the diverse amenities will contribute to a high quality of life for residents.”
He added, “Centrally positioned within the estate and directly linking with walk and cycle paths, the new contemporary amenity is expected to become a vibrant social gathering and shopping place.”
More than 100 jobs will be created during construction and over 100 permanent positions.
