A Shore Investment: Prime Coastal Investment Opportunity At Christies Beach

Fully leased retail property with development potential in Adelaide’s thriving southern corridor has hit the market

JLL has been appointed to market a fully leased retail property boasting significant development potential at Christie’s Beach, Onkaparinga.

The property at 13-15 Beach Road is positioned on a prime 1,010sqm site with dual street frontage, situated just 150 metres from the water.

Fully leased to well-established local retailers, the property generates an annual net income of approximately $120,400. Zoned Suburban Main Street, it allows for development up to three levels (subject to council approval), providing flexibility for future enhancements.

Located in the rapidly expanding southern suburbs of Adelaide, adjacent to McLaren Vale, the property is available for sale individually or in-one-line via Expression of Interest.

“This asset presents an exceptional opportunity for investors and developers looking to capitalise on the growth of Adelaide’s southern corridor,” said Claudia Brace, Senior Associate at JLL.

“With its prime beachside location, attractive income stream and flexible zoning, 13-15 Beach Road offers multiple avenues for future value creation.”

JLL’s Tom Love highlighted that, in addition to its coastal views, the property offers excellent connectivity, being just 31km from Adelaide’s CBD with easy access via the Southern Expressway. He also noted its proximity to key amenities including Colonnades Shopping Centre and Noarlunga Hospital.

“The City of Onkaparinga, including Christies Beach, is set to experience significant growth, with projections by the SA Govt indicating over 20,000 new residents by 2036¹,” Mr Love said.

“This population surge, combined with ongoing infrastructure investment and the rise of emerging industries, is driving increased demand for both housing and commercial space in the area.”

The property is available for sale individually or in-one-line via Expression of Interest, closing Wednesday, 9 April 2025, at 4:00 PM (ACST).
