An open-plan space ready for your next creative chapter

Interior of a large open-plan commercial space with carpeted floors, white walls, overhead lighting, pendant lights and a staircase with glass and timber railing.

Could this blank canvas become Adelaide’s next creative hub or third space?

The space

Large and full of possibilities, this expansive open-plan tenancy offers plenty of room to bring a creative concept to life. With a handy kitchenette and access to shared bathrooms, the space is ready to be shaped around your vision.

Whether you’re dreaming up a contemporary gallery, exhibition space, artist collective, creative studio or something else entirely, there’s plenty of room to make it your own.

The location

Right in the heart of the CBD at 18 Grenfell Street, this space is surrounded by the best of Adelaide’s city centre. Public transport runs right past the front door, while James Place is just next door, connecting through to Rundle Mall and putting plenty of foot traffic on your doorstep.

You’ll be in the mix of independent businesses, creative ventures, hospitality and retail, with the city’s major cultural and commercial destinations all within easy reach. You’ll also be neighbours with mid-century homeware heaven, 4th Floor Elevator, a fantastic example of transforming an office space into a lively gallery. With this much passing traffic and a generous space to work with, there’s plenty of potential to create a destination that draws people in.

Who you are

We’re on the hunt for a gallery concept or creative idea that can make the most of this generous, open-plan space.

This could be a contemporary gallery with unique programming like Renew venture Futurejuice, an artist collective like Sharehouse or a shared creative studio like Renew graduate The Rundle Collective.

We’re particularly interested in ideas that bring new creative energy and reasons for people to visit, and that can make the most of the scale and flexibility of the tenancy. Got a creative idea that needs a little more room to breathe? We’d love to hear from you.

Frequently asked questions

Q

How does the Renew Adelaide program work?

A

We partner with property owners and agents to offer rent-free spaces to emerging businesses, allowing them to test their concept in the Adelaide CBD. You can read more about our program on the how it works page.

Q

How long is the rent-free period?

A

This differs with each space but the minimum term is a 30-day rolling licence. This means the licence continues each month, up until you or the lessor chooses to end the licence, giving 30 days notice. In some cases, we can negotiate a fixed rent-free period with our property partner anywhere up to 12 months, depending on your concept and the property owner’s goals.

Q

What is the benefit of being on the Renew program?

A

In addition to the rent-free space, Renew Adelaide acts as a support system for new ventures and can help in areas you might not have experience in – whether it’s budgeting, marketing, visual merchandising or legal. Becoming a Renew Adelaide venture also provides you with greater exposure through our marketing channels.

Q

How do I apply for this space?

A

If you’re interested in this space, we recommend you come along to an inspection to ask any questions you might have. From there, you can submit an application form via our website. Visit how to apply for full details on the application process.

Q

Can I apply without an inspection?

A

We strongly encourage you to attend an inspection, however, if you’re unable to attend you can still apply. If you are successful in progressing to the next stage of the application process we can arrange a private inspection.

Q

I’ve missed the application deadline, can I still apply?

A

If you see a space online but have missed the application deadline, it’s best to reach out to us to see if we’re still able to accept your application.
