Versatile retail or studio space in the heart of the city!

View from outside Shop 17 showing large glass frontage and mall walkway.

Are you looking for a blank canvas to test your brick-and-mortar concept? This shop in bustling Topham Mall could be the perfect fit!

The space

This light, bright space – located at the key Topham Mall and Anster Lane entrance – features a large glass frontage, painted concrete floors and white walls. The wide floor plan presents a great opportunity for visual merchandising to catch the eyes of passing foot traffic. The shop comes equipped with a small sink at the rear.

The location

Topham Mall is a bustling hub of activity, which sees plenty of foot traffic with roughly 15,000 visitors passing through the arcade daily. Surrounding office workers commute through the space throughout the day and before and after work, with the mall offering great linkages between the small cafés, bars and restaurants on Leigh Street and Waymouth Street.

You’ll be surrounded by a thriving blend of retail and hospitality businesses, including Renew Adelaide program graduates Booknook & Bean, Coco Jumbo, The Flower Nook and Maya’s Fine Chocolate. Plus, the neighbouring UPark ensures convenient parking for visitors!

Who you are

Topham Mall is home to a diverse tenancy mix, including a barber, a florist, a juice bar, several cafes and other retail offerings. We’re after a unique retail or studio concept that will complement the existing offering. Are you a vintage seller or a designer? Do you have a food retail business you’re keen to trial in a brick-and-mortar space? Perhaps you’re an artist looking for space to make and showcase your work? Whatever the concept: hit us up if you think you’re the right person to bring this shop to life!

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.
