History

Swan City Shopping Centre opened in March 1980, with Midland Gate as a separate centre and Sayer Street dividing them. Sayer Street closed in the early 1990s and a pedestrian mall was created, which unofficially merged the Midland Gate and Swan City shopping centres together. The first expansion of Midland Gate occurred in 1995, with the structure removed and Midland Gate officially absorbing Swan City. In the early 2000s expansions were delayed, until the mid-2000s when the delays were no longer present. Midland Gate was handed over to Novion in 2015. Previously, it was owned by Colonial First State. The centre had extensive expansion and rebuilding in 2016–2017.
