The space

Embrace the charm of a bygone era with this distinctive building at 97a Hindley Street – smack bang in the heart of Adelaide’s night-time precinct. This industrial-feel upstairs space presents a clean slate, offering approximately 200 sqm of potential. With concrete flooring, high ceilings, large windows and plumbing provisions for toilet installation, this spot is a versatile canvas for activation. Steeped in history, this space presents a rare chance to make your mark on the city’s “creative quarter”: 97a Hindley is ready for you to bring it to life.

The location

From the footpath, this bright upper level blue building catches the eye with its column-flanked balcony – an iconic backdrop for your venture. With a Mini Mart and kebab shop downstairs, you’ll be nestled next door to the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Neighbours include 99 Gang Social and Renew Adelaide graduate Ancient World, with the nightlife of Hindley Street pulsing below.

Who you are

Renew Adelaide welcomes all creative ideas – whether it’s a day or night-time activation. While the tenancy lends itself to a hospitality concept, studio, gallery or office-based venture, we’re open to any ideas that bring new energy to this diverse precinct.

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.
