Your next big idea deserves a window seat.
Make your mark in one of Adelaide’s most iconic heritage shopping destinations.
The space
Perched on the first floor of the beautiful Adelaide Arcade, Shop 123 is a light-filled little gem with plenty of personality. With soaring windows wrapping around two sides, gorgeous heritage detailing and views across the arcade, this space is practically begging for a creative new tenant. Inside, you’ll find an open-plan layout, concrete flooring and a clean, neutral interior ready to be transformed into something special. There’s also potential to connect water, opening up even more possibilities for creative concepts.
Whether you’re dreaming up a design-led boutique, an intimate gallery, a creative studio or something entirely unexpected, this character-filled space offers the perfect blank canvas to bring your idea to life.
The location
Adelaide Arcade is perhaps the city’s most beautiful shopping destination; a heritage treasure connecting bustling Rundle Mall and Grenfell Street. With its ornate architectural details, decorative ironwork and iconic glass skylights, the arcade is home to a thriving collection of independent makers, retailers and creative businesses.
You’ll be in good company, surrounded by a fantastic community of Renew Adelaide-supported ventures and program graduates. You’ll find yourself just down the way from kitsch connoisseur Frida Las Vegas, independent publishing powerhouse Pink Shorts Press, retro physical media store Vicious Video, inclusive tattoo studio The Gilded Goblin Tattoo and craft haven Paper Scissors Wool.
Who you are
We’re looking for a creative concept that makes the most of this unique, highly visible space and gives visitors another reason to explore the upper level of Adelaide Arcade.
With windows galore, Shop 123 is particularly well suited to concepts that put creativity on display. Think a contemporary art gallery, an independent fashion label, a thoughtfully curated design store or a working artist’s studio where visitors can watch the magic happen. We’d also love to see concepts that blend making, exhibiting and selling. Perhaps a jeweller’s workshop-meets-showroom, an illustration studio or a collaborative space for local makers.
The possibilities are pretty exciting, and we’re open to being surprised! If you’ve got an idea that could bring something fresh to this historic corner of the city, we’d love to hear from you.
