Stockland was founded in 1952 by Albert Scheinberg and Ervin Graf. In 1957 Stockland listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange by acquiring a controlling interest in Simon Hickey Industries Ltd, the smallest company then listed. In the same year, Stockland's activities became more diversified, moving into commercial development, initially with retail projects in suburbs of Sydney. In 1965 Stockland opened its first big commercial development - the redeveloped
Imperial Arcade, Sydney in Sydney's CBD, which offered the first underground link to
David Jones, four retail levels and six levels of office space. Its current activities include: • management of
shopping centres, 41 centres valued at $5 billion across Australia. • development of 65 residential communities with end-market value of approximately $21.2 billion. • ownership and management of 16 offices in Australian capital cities • 13 distribution and industrial centres • 59 established retirement living villages. In 2022, Stockland launched its ecommerce platform, Stockland Marketplace, expanding its retail operations to e-commerce. ==List of shopping centres==
