Chevron Renaissance Shopping Centre  The Chevron Renaissance Shopping Centre is a retail complex located in Surfers Paradise, on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia. It is part of the Chevron Renaissance development that also includes the Towers of Chevron Renaissance apartments and hotel. The centre is by area and includes a Coles supermarket, 2 Liquorlands and approximately 60 speciality tenants. The current site once accommodated the Chevron Hotel, which was a Gold Coast landmark. The new development was named Chevron Renaissance, as it is widely considered to be a catalyst in the revitalising of the Surfers Paradise tourist district and was completed in October 2000. The original hotel housed the Skyline Lounge (opened August, 1957), which was a popular landmark bar and nightclub where many local and international acts would perform. The lounge was the launching pad for many great Australian performers such as Johnny O'Keefe, Ricky May and Colleen Hewett. In 2014, the Chevron Renaissance Shopping Centre underwent a $5 million upgrade. This included the creation of 'Chevron Lane'; a Melbourne styled laneway filled with eclectic street food operators such as Viet Baguettes and Harmoni-T. The laneway features exposed brickwork, corrugated roller doors, street art and festoon lighting. An open air piazza was also upgraded to include a shade sail structure, rustic wood features, garden beds and a water fountain was transformed into a food and beverage area. In 2015 the Chevron Renaissance Shopping Centre was purchased by Precision Group for $74 million from Morgan Stanley's Arena Investment Management in a deal backed by the Bank of China.
