Uptown is a six-floor shopping complex located on the Queen Street Mall in the central business district of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
[citation needed] Due to the hilly landscape of the Brisbane CBD, Uptown's floors are labelled differently from that of most shopping centres.
[4] The design emphasised a Victorian theme, utilising ornate railing and fittings in brass and green, with terrazzo floor tiles.
[6] In November 1998 the Myer Centre was purchased by Gandel Retail Trust for $371 million, making it the second largest property transaction in Australia's history at that time.
[4][7] During the early 1990s, the centre basement area (subsequently occupied by Sizzler) hosted "The Funkyard", a nightspot with an emphasis on the "alternative" guitar rock of the era.
[13] On 16 March 2023, Myer announced that, after being unable to reach a commercial agreement with the landlord, it would not be renewing its lease, thus ceasing 35 years of continuous operation at the site in July 2023.
