Council has selected Commercial & General Pty Ltd to develop and revitalise the site at 88 O’Connell Street, North Adelaide. Council has entered into a commercial arrangement with Commercial & General and have endorsed a design concept in their capacity as the owner of the land.

Council held three information sessions in February 2021 where the community had the opportunity to be updated by Commercial & General about the development, intended timelines and next steps. Find out more and read the frequently asked questions on this page.
