- Global retail giant Costco is set to anchor the norther corridor's newest large format retail centre, Alkimos Central's Home X Trade Hub
- State Government also launches EOI for more commercial operators to join Costco
- Strategic location next to Alkimos METRONET station, with freeway access and strong population growth
In a major coup for the northern suburbs, global retail giant Costco has announced it will open another retail outlet, at the Cook Labor Government's newly launched Alkimos Central's Home X Trade Hub.
Homemakers within the fastest growing corridor in Perth will soon have closer access to the wide array of goods and services that has made Costco popular throughout the world.
Costco's decision to establish in the Home X Trade Hub signals strong confidence in the area's strategic location, growth, and long-term commercial appeal.
Building on from this major signing, DevelopmentWA is now seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from other commercial operators, with the release of up to 17 hectares within the hub.
The Home X Trade Hub is ideally suited to bulky goods retail outlets that typically require large sites and convenient vehicular access.
With flexible opportunities available for tailored sites, individual or multi-lot acquisition, this EOI presents a rare and high-impact opportunity for businesses to establish themselves alongside global retail giant Costco.
The Alkimos Central Home X Trade Hub is a 24-hectare site, strategically positioned minutes from the METRONET Alkimos Station, with seamless access to the Mitchell Freeway via Romeo Road.
As development progresses, the Home X Trade Hub is set to generate hundreds of jobs for Western Australians, boost local business, and deliver everyday convenience for residents of Alkimos and Eglinton.
Alkimos Central is a master planned community that is designed to meet the growing needs of the area, which is forecast to exceed 45,000 residents by 2035.
EOIs must be submitted via the electronic tender box no later than 2pm (AWST) on Wednesday, 26 November via Tenderlink .

As stated by Planning and Lands Minister John Carey:
"With Costco coming soon to the Home X Trade Hub, this is a unique chance for businesses to establish themselves alongside a global retail leader, further enhancing the precinct's profile and drawing significant customer traffic to the area.
"The City of Wanneroo's population has the potential to almost double by 2036 and our government is committed to creating the amenity to support this growth.
"The Home X Trade Hub at Alkimos Central will support local jobs, services and economic development for years to come.
"This is a prime opportunity for investors and businesses to secure land in one of Perth's most dynamic and rapidly growing regions."
As stated by Butler MLA Lorna Clarke:
"As a mum, it's exciting to see a Costco coming to Alkimos Central's Home X Trade Hub.
"I often speak with local families who say they want more shops closer tohome.
"As the local Member of Parliament, I'm looking forward to having a convenient place for families to buy bulk and more local shops.
"The Home X Trade Hub at Alkimos Central will support local jobs and provide a place for local businesses to set up shop and thrive."
