Rent-free retail space available on bustling Grenfell Street!

Heritage frontage of Adelaide Arcade, showing the shop window and a white ute parked in front.

Are you looking for a space with an industrial feel and plenty of natural light? This high foot traffic tenancy could be the perfect opportunity for your retail or studio concept!

The space

Located on bustling Grenfell Street, this minimalist tenancy is part of the street-facing section of Adelaide Arcade. The space would be perfectly suited to a business concept that can take full advantage of the consistent foot traffic, abundant natural light and large windows.

We’ve most recently brought this property to life with cozy mid-century furniture retailer Housewarmers, as well as Lili Harrison’s ‘Skin’ exhibition.

The location

Neighbouring the iconic Haigh’s Chocolates, 120 Grenfell Street is located near current and graduate Renew Adelaide ventures in Adelaide and Gays Arcade, including Frida Las Vegas, Finding Nina Vintage, Dulcie’s Vintage and tattoo studio Gilded Goblin. The location offers plenty of opportunity for collaboration with this thriving creative community!

Who you are

We’re looking for a creative retail, studio or gallery concept that can make the most of the minimalist features of the space and large window frontage, while maximising the organic foot traffic of the existing precinct.

Perhaps you’re looking for a space to make and sell your work like Vice Jewellery, who we’ve supported to open their Pirie Street shop? Are you a fashion designer or vintage seller ready to launch a brick-and-mortar space? Maybe you’ve got a gallery or studio concept you’re ready to share with the world?

If your idea sounds anything like these (or even if it sounds completely different but just as exciting): we want 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.

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