Now anyone who has been here before knows that I have been following the Costco in Brisbane construction and I can say after getting an email from Costco during the week that Costco in Brisbane is definitely getting closer to them announcing a grand opening date and also getting closer for construction completion too.

I received an email from the Costco team on the 21st of March which first thanks me for being interested in the new store and then also lets me know the warehouse and fuel station are almost complete, the fresh dept is next on the construction list and that they are hoping to be able to move stock into the new Costco by the end of April.

The big news on this email is that they hope to announce the opening date of the Costco North Lakes in the coming weeks.

I’d say they will have to see that they are definitely on track for completion and it is all going to schedule in regards to construction before they announce the opening date.

With the rain that is coming for the rest of the week here in Brisbane I’d say they will be happy they got the roof on their buildings and also that, as you can see in the pictures below that they have had a lot of the earth moving done as the water will be able to run away, it might be a great time to check for roof leaks too.

I’ve been away for work up in North Queensland and so I didn’t get to take my picture’s last week of the Costco construction, so here is my latest Costco Brisbane update.

There has been a bit more rain around in the last weeks from the end of February and in the first two weeks of March, but none the less the construction of Brisbane’s first Costco here at North Lakes still rolls on.

As you can see from these pictures the changes are still quite subtle from the last one’s, the buildings haven’t changed too much, I’m seeing changes mainly in the earthworks and landscaping currently with the base getting ready for pouring bitumen I’d say in the coming month or so.
