Plans revealed for former Forestville Le Cornu site
Plans and images have been unveiled for the former Forestville Le Cornu site, with more than 200 apartments for the multi-million dollar location proposed.
Detailed plans for the development were released this week to the public with a proposal of a mix of terraces and apartment dwellings, 201 apartments in total, 44 of those dwellings will be allocated for affordable housing.
A ‘diverse range’ of 71 medium density 2-3 storey townhouses will accompany two residential towers which will be home to a total of 130 apartments.
But it’s more than an apartment hub, an open ‘piazza style’ market square with a range of shops, outdoor eateries and market stores is also proposed . A 6,600 square market supermarket, an integrated urban farm, outdoor function, hospitality and education space will also be available on the podium level of the site.
Located on the corner of Anzac Highway and Leader Street, the site has remained vacant since October 2016, when the LeCornu store officially closed its doors and was purchased by Renewal SA for a reported $38.2 million in September 2020.
Since then, the land has been sitting dormant waiting for its new lease on life. But developers Buildtec, Western Australian residential developer Peet, and the Chapley family’s Commercial Retail Group (operators of popular Pasadena and Frewville Foodland stores), who were selected by Renewal SA as the chosen organisations to redevelop the site and are ready to make it a destination.
With its prime location and access to various amenities, including easy access to public transport, Ashford Hospital and Goodman Fielder’s bakery, the development is set to be a popular location for the broader community.
Other developments are also in the works to help accommodate and manage increased traffic, with an upgrade of the Anzac Highway and Leader Street intersection.
Since the sites take over, there have been a number of proposals lodged for the ‘once-in-a-generation development’, including a $250m development in August of last year.
“The initial feedback received from the design review sessions was welcomed and generally supportive
of the development vision for the site,” the report states.
“In response to the constructive feedback received, the Master Plan has since been subject to a number of design refinements.”
Buildtec, led by the Carrocci family, is overseeing developments including the $120m Norwood Green apartment and townhouse project at the former Caroma site on Magill Rd, while Peet is delivering residential projects including at Tonsley and at the former police academy site in Taperoo.
The full project completion is anticipated by 2029.
Work on the other Le Cornu site – 88 O’Connell located in North Adelaide – is currently underway, with the project expected to be completed in the first half 2025, with the creation of 430 construction jobs.
