According to The Age newspaper, documents reveal that the council plans to make $616,000 selling part of Lynch Place, $686,000 from Arcade Alley, $148,000 selling a section of the air space of Little Bourke Street and $6000 from basement area, and $21,000 for air space above Caledonian Lane.

The Emporium Melbourne development, including 240 new shops and a makeover of Myer's CBD store, is due to be completed before Christmas 2012.
