A new $25-million-dollar shopping centre development in Hendon is celebrating its grand opening today.
The new centre will be a food and services hub for the local community providing a major jobs boost for the western suburbs and surrounds.
The 15,000sqm shopping complex has been delivered by Adelaide based construction and development company, Thirteen Commercial, and created over seventy jobs during the construction phase, in addition to hundreds of ongoing retail positions.
Ground was officially broken on the retail development in December 2021. The space now includes key anchor Romeo’s Foodland, Hungry Jacks, KFC and more.
Thirteen Commercial Director Anthony Lenzi said the new centre will provides a great opportunity for the community.
“This exciting new development makes Hendon Central home to the highly sought after and South Australian owned Romeo’s Foodland,” Anthony said.
“The build is complete and on time and we are looking forward to seeing trade begin for the traders tomorrow (today)”.
“It will be fantastic to see retail locations opening in the location over the next two weeks as fit outs are finalised.”
“The combination of black steel, recycled timbers and exposed red brick in the new centre will provide shoppers with a rustic, casual and convenient environment, and will become a destination for specialty food and services in Adelaide’s inner west.”
The development also offers the local community communal seating areas as well as an undercover alfresco area for shoppers to enjoy, in addition to 160 car parks.
Thirteen Commercial Asset Manager Bianca Nunn said the new space will bring people together.
“Hendon Central will provide the inner west with an authentic community hub which perfectly meets the needs of local families,” Bianca said.
“We are really excited to share this development with our tight-knit community and know they will enjoy the new shopping experience.”
Demand for space within the complex has also been strong so far. Led by Leedwell, the leasing campaign is well underway, with a number of mixed-use specialties, liquor and health services tenants close to signing.
Owner and operator of Barber Boys, newly set up in the Hendon Shopping Centre is looking forward to bringing a new concept to the location.
“With the new development and opening of Hendon Central shopping centre comes a new era for Barber Boys.”
“A new Barber Boys concept will be rolled out in the new Hendon Shopping Centre and will be a flagship location for the brand. With added services for clients and opportunities to enhance the customer experience, Barber Boys is ready to raise the bar on barber experiences.”
“As a new flagship store for barber boys, our customers, new and loyal to us, will be able to experience an extensive range of hair and beauty services and enjoy the added cherry on the top with soft serve ice cream for children and beer on tap and fresh coffee for adults.”
