Pran Central serves a predominantly young, white collar market of singles and couples. The Centre is surrounded by high density apartment dwellings with direct access to the Centre. There are several major residential projects, within a 1km radius to the Centre that are currently under construction, that will attract an estimated 370 new residents to the precinct during FY20 and an addtional estimated 867 new residents to the precinct by 2023.

The Centre is well serviced by public transport with tram and train services in close proximity.

Pran Central's trade area encompasses Prahran, Toorak, South Yarra, Armadale, Windsor, St Kilda, Albert Park, Caulfield, Cremorne, Richmond, Kooyong and Malvern. Due to the nature of the Chapel Street precinct being a fashion shopper's and foodies Mecca, it offers reason for visitors to come from beyond the trade area and also engages the tourist market visiting Melbourne.

Our location is steeped in Melbourne tradition, the former Read's Store on Chapel Street and Malvern Road. Built in 1915, it was one of Melbourne's largest department stores; our building holds significant historical and social importance.  

Architecturally, it is one of the few buildings to display the influence of the English Baroque Revival. Notable elements include the oval & circular windows, the overall rustication, ribbed green painted domes and an elaborate verandah showcasing Baroque architectural style. Corinthian columns and twin domed towers are not only unique but showcase the neo-classical revival of the 1910s and 20s, giving the building great prominence and providing landmarks that can be seen from great distances. Since 1910, Chapel Street has been the major shopping destination outside the CBD.

In 2006 Precision Group purchased the high-profile Pran Central retail complex.
