Apple melbourne federation square

The store is now due to open its doors in 2021

Plans to demolish part of Australian landmark Federation Square to make way for a new Apple store designed by Foster + Partners have been pushed back by a year.

Federation Square’s annual report reveals construction is now a year behind the original schedule.

When announced last year, the project was expected to begin in early 2019, with the store to open in 2020. Now works will start in 2020 and the store open in 2021.
