Strathnairn Local Centre offers astute developers the rare opportunity to shape the heart of one of Canberra’s fastest-growing communities
Stonebridge Property Group is pleased to present The Strathnairn Local Centre Retail Development to the market – a landmark opportunity to deliver the first-ever retail centre in Ginninderry, Canberra’s most ambitious and fastest-growing master planned community.
Strategically positioned in Strathnairn, the foundation suburb of Ginninderry, the site is set to become a vibrant, supermarket-anchored precinct offering essential shopping, health, childcare, fitness and hospitality services to a community that has, until now, lacked a dedicated local centre. Ginninderry is a 30 – 40-year master planned project that will ultimately deliver 15,500 homes and 30,000 – 40,000 residents across four suburbs. With a catchment population forecast to more than double from 9,173 in 2024 to 19,566 by 2035, the demand for daily-needs retail is both immediate and long-term. The site is just 5 minutes from Kippax, 12 minutes from Belconnen, and 20 minutes from Canberra CBD, offering excellent connectivity and visibility.
Anchored by a 1,500 sqm supermarket, the centre will also feature supporting tenancies including a chemist, gym, health and childcare facilities, a liquor store, and specialty retail offerings. The 12,102 sqm site has potential capacity for 4,010 sqm of gross lettable area and 200 car spaces, with flexible acquisition options that include three adjoining mixed-use sites suitable for residential or commercial development. With no existing competition in the immediate area, the centre presents a first-mover advantage for tenants and developers. The site is development-ready, supported by concept design and planning pathways, and is backed by the Ginninderry Joint Venture, offering options for outright purchase or development partnership.
“This is a generational opportunity to shape the heart of a thriving new community,” said Alex James-Elliot, Director at Stonebridge Property Group. “With no existing retail competition, a booming population, and a flexible delivery model, Strathnairn Local Centre offers investors and developers the chance to secure a legacy asset in one of Canberra’s most exciting growth corridors.”
Strathnairn Local Centre is offered for sale via Expressions of Interest, closing at 4pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 6th November 2025 in conjunction with Riverview Sales & Marketing.
