History

In 1999 the land and development project was sold for $85 million by David Jones to Precision Group.[1][2][3][4]

On 31 August 2000, the centre was officially opened by Premier of South Australia John Olsen.[5]

Also in 2000, the reconstructed David Jones' department store at Adelaide Central Plaza won the Institute of Store Planners International Store Design Award as the best newly completed store in the world for its prototype redesign.[6][7] The design of the store was completed by Robert Young Associates of Dallas.[6]

During 2013 a $35 million upgrade to the building and David Jones store was announced, and completed in June 2014.[8][9]
