Rundle Mall
Rundle Mall is a place like no other – an ever-evolving shopping, cultural, entertainment and dining destination – attracting 54 million visitors each year.
As the number one place to visit in the city, Rundle Mall is situated between the buzzing East End and vibrant West End, and a short walk from the museums, galleries and gardens on North Terrace.
The largest outdoor Mall in the Southern Hemisphere, Rundle Mall is Adelaide’s epicentre of retail with more than 700 stores and 300 services, generating an annual spend of $1.42 billion. It’s always bustling with exciting new activities and experiences, hosting more than 400 major events, pop-ups and activations each year, including MallFest, Urban Kitchen, ADL Fashion Week and the annual Black Friday sales event.
Rundle Mall offers a significant opportunity for brands to enter or expand in the South Australian market and, with vacancy rates among the lowest in the country, interest in the Mall’s tenancies is high. Major local and international brands recognise the strength in Adelaide’s brick and mortar retail market, with many of these brands found exclusively in the Mall, or choosing the Mall as the location for their flagship stores.
Adelaide Central Market
For fresh gourmet food produce there is no equal to the iconic Adelaide Central Market. With over 150 years of heritage, this culinary collective is one of the largest undercover markets in the Southern Hemisphere and offers a truly tantalising and unique ensemble of aromatic stalls, shops and stands. The City of Adelaide’s planned redevelopment of the adjacent Central Market Arcade, with expanded and complementary retail and market activities, will see this historic city landmark further cherished and enhanced.
Market Square development
The Market Square development is a joint initiative of the City of Adelaide and ICD Property. Inspired by the spirit and iconic architecture of the neighbouring Adelaide Central Market, the planned redevelopment of the adjacent site, previously Central Market Arcade, will see the expansion of this historic city landmark you know and love at the ground level. It will double the Market’s footprint between Gouger and Grote St. Just like now, the expanded Market will be all about specialty food and beverage, fresh food, artisan producers, uniquely SA offerings and the best shopping and eating experiences. More of what we already love about the Market!
The development will also feature rooftop terrace garden, childcare centre, hotel, apartments and offices at the upper levels.
