Burwood Plaza
Burwood Plaza

Burwood Plaza is a small 1970s-style two-storey railway shopping centre located in the suburb of Burwood in Sydney's Inner West. Due to the lack in investment into the property by the current owner of Holdmark Property Group and socio-economic changes in the Burwood area, Burwood Plaza has lost such a significant amount of its former shoppers since its prime that despite its small size, has become one of Sydney's most notable dying malls.By January 2023, the shopping centre had lost most of its main tenants leaving just a Woolworths, Lowes Menswear, a small Subway franchise and almost a quarter of the centre empty. With many of the former notable stores such as the former hair salon, game shop, bakery and convenience store becoming temporary lease stores mainly occupied by stores selling illegal counterfeit goods. This has led to the remains of the shopping centre becoming a hybrid of a dead mall and a black market for Chinese-made counterfeit clothing claiming to be from large brands such as Gucci and Nike.The shopping centre is also losing foot traffic due to gentrification in the Burwood area. Less people are using the train station and bus stations which Burwood Plaza benefits from being in closer proximity to compared to Westfield, which has is a much more car-suited shopping centre design, compared to the 1970s pedestrian-suited design of Burwood Plaza. The shopping centre also suffers from sharing some of the same shops as Westfield Burwood, this has made the journey to Burwood Plaza from Westfield less common. To revive the centre, Holdmark Property Group has started to position the centre as a community centre for the Burwood area and has attempted to modernise small areas of the centre.
