Renew Adelaide – innovative model brings vacant shop front to life

Renew Adelaide in Partnership with Steve Maras, Managing Director of Maras Group have come together to transform an iconic vacant shop front at 98 Prospect Road, Prospect into two buzzing creative businesses with a twist. “We had the Princess Collection Bridal House in this space for the last three years with the space only recently becoming available,” says Maras. While searching for a more permanent operator this was a great opportunity for Steve Maras to work with Renew Adelaide to quickly activate the space, giving Littlest Vintage and Studio Lingo a chance to showcase themselves.

The Renew Adelaide model of licensing access to empty spaces through short term, rolling agreements follows on from the successful Renew Newcastle intiative. The aim is to improve Adelaide’s status as a cultural hub, engage with communities, support urban renewal and enhance creative industries. Renew Adelaide is supported by The Australian Centre for Social Innovartion, Adelaide City Council, Maras Group, Kambitsis Group, Adelaide West End Assocation and Format Collective along with a large amount of invaluable community support. This is the first time they have ventured outside of the CBD.
