The Build & Design Centre relocating to Brisbane Airport
A home improvement mecca the size of three Olympic-sized swimming pools is coming to Brisbane Airport’s Skygate precinct, bringing together thousands of building products under one roof to create a megastore for renovation projects and residential and commercial builds.
The Build and Design Centre will relocate from its existing tenancy in South Brisbane to the airport precinct in a major expansion step, growing its showroom footprint.
Spanning more than 4,000m2 across two levels, the purpose-built facility will be a one-stop shop for renovations and new builds, offering everything from kitchen and bathroom fixtures, cabinetry and benchtops, cladding, concrete, bricks, flooring and more.
The walk-through experience will allow customers to explore display rooms and envision how each space could come to life in their own home.
The new premises will feature:
• More than 70 showrooms in one centralised space, allowing customers to browse, plan and coordinate an entire project with ease
• Huge mix of leading home and building brands across interiors, exteriors and structural essentials
• Easy access and ample parking within the established Skygate precinct, which includes DFO Brisbane and the newly opened Landers Pocket, with public transport links via bus
• Purpose-built spaces for design seminars and workshops for industry professionals.
Brisbane Airport Executive General Manager Commercial Scott Norris said The Build & Design Centre would bring a one-of-a-kind offering to Skygate’s thriving retail and entertainment precinct.
“The Build & Design Centre is set to become a key destination for Brisbane’s growing home improvement market, offering an efficient and customer-centric way to plan and complete projects of any scale.
“This hub will bring industry together in one convenient location, changing the way Queenslanders build and renovate.”
Director of The Build and Design Centre Charl Liebenberg said the new hub at Brisbane Airport’s Skygate provided unbeatable access to major arterials and a booming retail catchment.
“People are time-poor and building or renovating can be an overwhelming process.
“By bringing a wide range of suppliers together in one place, we’re giving customers the ability to make informed choices without spending endless hours driving from showroom to showroom across Brisbane.
“This new space gives us the scale and visibility to create a true building and renovation destination.
“It will bring convenience, inspiration and expert advice all under one roof, in an easily accessible and central location.”
The new Build and Design Centre is expected to open in early 2027.
Brisbane Airport spans more than 2,700 hectares of Australia’s best-connected commercial and industrial land, forming one of the nation’s most strategically positioned precincts.
Home to more than 600 businesses, the airport precinct offers unparalleled access to aviation, road, and port networks, creating a dynamic hub for logistics, commerce and industry.
With world-class infrastructure and seamless connectivity, Brisbane Airport is a key gateway to Queensland, Australia and global markets.
