History
The Interchange opened in 1988 integrated with the station entrance. It featured around 30 speciality stores with no anchor stores.
With the construction of the
Chatswood to Epping line, The Interchange as well as
Chatswood railway station and its attached bus interchange was demolished in 2005. Construction started on new railway station, bus interchange and shopping centre in late 2005. The CTI was constructed as a
Public Private Partnership and was to include a new shopping centre called 'Metro Chatswood' and three towers. The private developers, CRI Chatswood, went into receivership whilst construction was underway. As a result, the shopping centre remained vacant until 2014 and major construction of the towers was delayed for several years.
The centre opened in 2014 as Chatswood Interchange.
