It was owned by the Shell and BHP Superannuation Funds.〔Centro Properties Group (1993). ASX announcement, 16 December 1993. Retrieved from Factiva on 5 January 2009.〕 In 1991, the centre expanded to 120 stores, including a Best & Less and 2,000 car parking spaces. In addition, a food court, multiple levels of undercover car parking and travelators were added.〔 At this point, Centro Properties took over the management of the centre. In February 1994, Centro acquired a 50% interest in the centre at a cost of A$37 million, with the two superannuation funds retaining 25% each; the Safeway was redeveloped at this time.〔Australian Property News, 6 June 1996.〕 A major expansion in 1996 costing A$8 million saw the number of retailers expand to 170, including the opening of the first suburban David Jones store in Melbourne, with an official launch on 22 May 1996.〔〔"DJ hits The Glen", Australian Property News, 6 June 1996.〕 In August 1999, a new consortium, Glen Property Trust in which Centro had a 50% interest, bought out the superannuation funds' stake in the centre at a price of A$81.5 million, taking Centro's stake in the centre to 75%. In June 2000, Centro acquired the final 25% share.〔Jobson's Yearbook of Public Companies, 2 July 2005 under Centro (CPL) Limited.
