Burnside Village opening date 2025 pushed back to May | The Advertiser
The grand opening of Burnside Village following a multimillion-dollar expansion has been delayed once more – with the revised opening date pushed back further into the year.
The high-end, luxury mall located in the eastern suburbs was originally set to open in March.
But after failing to meet this deadline, Burnside Village management has revealed they have been forced to push back the opening date to May 29.
The Burnside Village chief executive Gregg Downer said the delays were caused by brand retailers.
“The base build construction is now complete,” he told The Advertiser.
“The remaining work consists of retailer shop fit-outs and minor architectural and landscaping works … a number of our Stage 6 retailers were facing challenges which would have either impacted on their ability to commence trading from the originally estimated opening day.”

Mr Downer said retailers will be completing their shop’s look in the coming months.
“Retailers are aiming for completion of their fit outs by the Centre revised opening date on 29 May,” he said.
“It is currently proposed that those brand retailers who are unable to commence trading on the revised opening day will target to open in the months thereafter.”
Mr Downer said they will continue to provide “regular updates on the progress of the expansion” on their social media.
Owners Cohen Group have previously said Burnside Village expansion would be the largest private sector retail property expansion in South Australia.
The expansion will double the centre’s footprint to nearly 39,000sq m, including 80 new stores with three levels of additional retail space, new premium mall, new dining area offering elevated food and beverage options and 560 free undercover parks fitted with a guidance system and a 24-hour gym facility.
