"[W]e anticipate finalisation of design over the next half of the year," added Henry Siwaka of APN Property Group. An earlier email from iTWire to Apple Australia about the mooted Melbourne store went unanswered. If Apple were to open a store in Melbourne but decided against a CBD location, the South Yarra development at the intersection of Toorak Road and Chapel Street would appear to be a good choice. It's a busy area that features other prestige retailers. Several commercial car parks are nearby, though you'd expect a development of this size to include parking of its own. Melbourne's famous trams pass the door, and it's only a short walk to the South Yarra railway station. The downside is that Apple reseller Computers Now already has a store just 700m south on Chapel Street. Relationships between Apple Australia and its resellers are generally regarded as strained, and such direct competition would be unlikely to improve matters.{moscomment}
