45 Days to Open: Lessons from the Uniqlo Adelaide Flagship Project

In late 2022, Huntha Management was brought onto the Uniqlo Adelaide Flagship Project at Myer Centre Adelaide as Client Side Project Manager and Superintendent with just 45 days until the scheduled opening. With no runway and an ambitious deadline, the project demanded rapid mobilisation, decisive stakeholder management, and trust-based relationships across a complex ecosystem of stakeholders including an international client, a demanding tenant, head contractors, engineers, certifiers, and shopfitters.

In this session, Thanh Huynh takes you behind the scenes of one of Adelaide’s most pressured retail project deliveries and unpacks the real lessons that got the doors open on time. Expect practical insights on crisis project management, navigating competing stakeholder agendas, building trust under pressure, and the soft skills that no Gantt chart can replace. Whether you work in construction, retail, or any project environment where the unexpected is the norm, this session will resonate. Come ready for real stories, honest reflections, and actionable takeaways from 20 years of hands-on project delivery.
