Port Adelaide Plaza Development

Port Adelaide Plaza™​

The most significant retail development of its kind in the area in 40 years, Port Adelaide Plaza ^TM is expanding to over 29,000 square metres to accommodate 70+ stores and services.

Linking major retailers Kmart, Coles, Liquorland to Aldi, with new specialty stores and services, a casual dining precinct and car park capacity to total over 900 free car parking bays creates an exciting retail precinct in the heart of Port Adelaide.

Commercial precincts adjoining Port Adelaide Plaza ^TM include the fully tenanted 5,235 square metre Customs House, home to government naval and maritime authorities, delivers over 200 office workers daily to the front door.

The three level Port Adelaide State Government Office in Nile Street, less than 1 kilometre away, brings a further 500 Government employees to Port Adelaide.

Port Adelaide Plaza ^TM is owned, and managed Precision Group is one of Australia’s most successful private commercial property investment and management companies with a portfolio of retail, commercial and hospitality properties.

The project costing over $50 million commenced in April 2018. The final stage of Port Adelaide Plaza ^TM is set to open October 2021.

Design

The architecture of the Port Adelaide Plaza™​ represents a contemporary interpretation of Port Adelaide, juxtaposed with the amenity and experience required of the modern sub regional shopping centre. Timelessness is crucial to the design, with precise detailing of natural robust materials that invoke a sense of place, identity and pride. The design of Port Adelaide Plaza™​ utilizes bold forms, lines and materials to provide unique shopping experiences throughout the site, an inconsistent consistency of sorts.

With over 70 everyday essential retail stores and services, the Centre has been designed for the entire community – the shopper, the retailer and for those simply looking to experience the community. Places have been intertwined into the design to gather, to sit, to watch and to participate. Internal and external areas boasting luscious plants, trees, dappled lighting, and shading.

Port Adelaide Plaza provides 900 free on grade car parks including 250 undercover spaces and direct access to public transport including, taxi ranks, nearby bus stops and is only 100 metres to the Port Adelaide train station.

Through its carefully constructed mix of shops and operators, Port Adelaide Plaza ^TM will provide a diverse ecosystem of retail spaces that provide strong commercial and social outcomes, supporting the real needs of a healthy and vibrant community. 

Local Industry

The Centre is easily accessible to over 9,000 local businesses and their employees
