New renders of the Subiaco Pavilion Markets redevelopment have been released as construction begins, with the developer promising the project will bring back the “old village atmosphere” of the abandoned markets.
Designed by Hames Sharley, the project will comprise three residential buildings: the “Roberts” and “Rokeby” buildings, both six storeys, and a 24-storey “Seddon” building, which will become the tallest building in Subiaco.
The proposal was given the green light by the City of Subiaco and the Metro West Joint Development Assessment Panel in February 2019, with conditions.
Developer Blackburne Property told WA Today that the designs for the ground-floor markets had been finalized and that the first tenants were being secured.

“The entire ground level will become a new destination in itself,” managing director Paul Blackburne told the website.
“[On] weekends we will also have pop-up markets and we expect 5,000 people a weekend to visit the new Subiaco Pavilion Markets.”
As well as the redeveloped market floor, the proposal includes a range of food, beverage and retail offerings focused around a market laneway.
“The redevelopment will become a sustainable, community oriented, mixed-use urban village and will form the gateway to Subiaco, linking the historic heart with its contemporary north,” reads a vision statement from Hames Sharley.
Project completion is scheduled for 2022.
