At the 2025 Property Council of Australia Retail Conference in Perth, Buchan’s Isabella Etna and William Perkin explored how Gen Z is reclaiming spaces in unexpected ways – driving a cultural shift that is reshaping how we approach design.

From Chadstone’s vibrant The Social Quarter and 260 Collins Street to the future of the Chapel Street Precinct and iconic Jam Factory, Buchan is redefining retail and mixed-use developments through cultural context and community connection.

Thank you to the Property Council WA for inviting us to share how design is transforming the future of retail.
