Investors, land bankers and developers have the chance to make their mark on one of Adelaideā€™s most iconic thoroughfares, with a retail and office corner site offering development potential hitting the market.

McGees Propertyā€™s Yee Ng and Simon Lambert are offering for sale 271-273 Unley Road, Malvern, via Expressions of Interest closing on Wednesday, 11 December, on behalf of private owners.

The property comprises a retail shop and character office totalling 368sqm on a highly visible corner site of 752sqm, zoned Urban Corridor (Main Street).

It has been occupied by long-standing tenant Art & Frame since 1992, with the current lease expiring in August 2025 plus a three-year renewal option, returning gross rental of $126,918 per annum plus GST. There is also a redevelopment clause in the lease.

ā€œThe existing tenant has a proven track record over more than three decades, which will give investors and land bankers comfort in their assetā€™s rental prospects.

ā€œThe favourable zoning allows for a excellent development flexibility, with an allowed height of five levels, or 18.5 metres. An incoming purchaser can enjoy an income stream from a proven tenant while assessing plans for the siteā€™s future.

ā€œThis is the chance for a buyer to make their mark on one of Adelaideā€™s most iconic and bustling thoroughfares.ā€

Ng said Unley Street is an inner city hub of retail, dining, and lifestyle options which attracts a steady flow of foot traffic from locals and visitors.

ā€œThere is growing demand from people to live, work and play in locations that are close to the CBD, highly accessible, and offer excellent hospitality and lifestyle amenity.ā€

ā€œThis will underpin investment prospects, as well as demand for a range of development product on this site.ā€

The property is adjacent to Malvern Village, and just moments from the Metro Shopping Centre and Unley Shopping Centre, and offers direct access to the CBD.
