David Jones teeters as Chris Lucas restaurants set to open in Melbourne midtown
Cbus says hospitality must help draw people back; Lord Mayor calls openings an anchor
David Jones is collapsing into administration, but a new office building at 435 Bourke Street will be home to two Chris Lucas restaurants set to open this month, aiming to help revive Melbourne’s midtown. Cbus chief executive Chris Kakoufas said hospitality had to be part of drawing people back to the area, while Lord Mayor Nick Reece called the openings an anchor for a new precinct.
