This prime inner-city location offers a blank canvas to create a dynamic mixed-use precinct that blends residential, retail, commercial, and public spaces, all just minutes from Adelaide’s CBD.

With a minimum of 1,000 apartments planned, including 20% affordable housing outcomes, this development represents a major opportunity in one of Adelaide's most historically rich and strategically located areas.

Positioned on the edge of the city, Thebarton combines the charm of a historic location with the connectivity of a modern urban hub. With direct access to key transport links, employment centres, and cultural and sporting attractions, this site is poised to become Adelaide’s next landmark destination.

With flexible zoning that supports a mix of residential, retail, and commercial outcomes, developers can create a vibrant community that aligns with market demand and urban living trends. The draft master plan provides opportunities for a range of use. Renewal SA will deliver the public realm including open space across the site supporting the vision and appeal of the Thebarton as desirable place to live.

The site’s rich heritage offers an opportunity to blend the old with the new, incorporating historic elements into a contemporary vision that respects Thebarton’s past while building for the future. This is a rare chance to craft a precinct with character, connectivity, and cultural significance.

As a project driven by Renewal SA, Thebarton benefits from strong government backing and strategic alignment with state growth initiatives. Developers will enjoy a collaborative approach, streamlined processes, and ongoing support to bring visionary projects to life.

Developing at Thebarton means being part of something bigger—an opportunity to create a legacy within one of Adelaide’s most anticipated urban transformations.

The site benefits from multiple street frontages and interface with Karrawirra Parri / River Torrens with aspects over the Park Lands towards the city ensuring developers have the opportunity to create scale and value with uninterrupted views.

Renewal SA is currently finalising the master planning stage and will seek, through a market sounding process, development partner interest and feedback to determine the most appropriate development outcomes and configuration for the site.

This is a chance to be part of a landmark project located on a prime location along Port Road within Adelaide’s evolving urban landscape.
