Demolition work to make way for Perth's first Topshop Topman store will be completed this week, with a grand total of 35 tenancies having been gutted to make way for the fashion retailer giant.

The $8 million store will be the equal-largest Topshop Topman in Australia at 2,200 square metres on par with the Brisbane store that opened earlier in December.

The last phase of demolition - removal of the Carillon Arcade balcony - commenced on Monday night.

Retailers were told it would take two to three nights to complete, with work done at night to prevent interference from heavy machinery noise and vibration from the breaking of the building's slab.

The project relocated 15 tenants into others stores, 10 stores were closed and 10 pop up shops were either moved or closed.

A Carillon City spokesperson said the development was on track to open in October 2014.
