Probably the most exciting point I noticed was that Adelaide's very first GRILL'D Fresh Burger restaurantwill be opening there in the coming months (where Billy Baxters was), their application for a liquor license went through the May 5 NP&SP Council Meeting and seemingly was approved, their staff have all been hired and are in training. Amongst the agenda I managed to find a floor-plan for the store, which I'll post with this...
NPSP Council has given Coles a 12 month extension.COLES has refused to commit to a start date for its $50 million revamp of Norwood Mall, a year after plans for the upgrade were approved.
And traders say the uncertainty surrounding the project is driving customers away.
memory is lame, but didn't the council knock it back?Vee wrote:Several new "pop up" / short lease shops have appeared in the Norwood Mall in recent weeks. This has partially helped to stem the gloom for remaining traders by adding a bit more life to the precinct, but the uncertainty continues.

I think the location (towards the rear) opposite James Coke Park and adjacent Edward St is ideal for some residential development to be integrated into a scaled-down proposal. (Supermarket, underground parking, fewer shops/cafés - replaced by apartments). Norwood has an abundance of cafés, restaurants and shops already and I would rather see apartments overlooking the park.
Café culture is more suited to the "passing parade" with alfresco style outdoor areas which complement passing cosmopolitan pedestrian traffic and a mix of shops and local business.
This is a great site. An injection of more residents along the Parade eg the Nuova and Bath Hotel developments, and in this vicinity, would add to the Parade's day/night time population and viability of local business.
Is it too late for a re-think by Coles to go back to the original idea of a mixed development with a residential component?
Back in January upper management told us that development and store closure was around 12 months away - early 2020. So it's totally possible that surveying and utilities inspections are already underway!https://saplanningportal.sa.gov.au/publ ... w-4612-LUADemolition of supermarket, ancillary shop buildings and removal of three significant trees, and construction of an eight-storey mixed use development, incorporating supermarket, shops, commercial tenancies, residential flat buildings, and ancillary car parking - to be undertaken in stages.
Plans lodged for $110m, eight-storey Norwood Mall upgrade with expanded Coles supermarket
Plans have been lodged for a $110 million plan to transform Norwood Mall into a contemporary retail and residential complex.
Australasian Property Developments has applied to the State Government’s assessment panel to build four towers on land bounded by Edward St, George St and The Parade.
It includes an expanded Coles supermarket, new retail outlets and two levels of offices, which could include medical services, in an eight-storey building.
The upper levels would house 24 two-storey townhouses and there would be 387 car spaces across the ground, first and second floors.
Two five-storey towers would be home to 40 apartments and four penthouses.
In addition, nine apartments – and a further 18 parking spaces – are proposed for a three-storey complex facing George St.
Seven trees would be removed to make way for the development but a 127-year-old cork tree and a large river red gum will be retained.
Colliers retail manager Lauren Smith, who is in charge of leasing the retail outlets and office space, described it as an “amazing” development opportunity for Norwood.
“It will be fantastic to finally have something happening on this site,” she said“We expect strong demand (for the retail spaces) on the doorstep of the latest Coles supermarket.”
Miss Smith envisaged a similar level of demand for the medical and allied health elements.
APD managing director Pep Rocca said in January the project would deliver an “enhanced shopping precinct” for the local community.
“We’re trying to complement the other shops in the area and I think this will centralise the heart of Norwood and bring it back to where it was 10 or 15 years ago,” Mr Rocca said.
“We’re trying to make the townhouses very spacious and liveable, targeting owner-occupiers – retirees, young families, professionals.”
Construction is expected to start towards the end of next year and take two years to complete.
