The first edition of our free Norwood Green heart&soul street magazine was published in December 2019.

The 16 page publication celebrates Norwood’s vibrant community and includes a progress update on the Norwood Green development as well as articles on interior trends, sustainable architectural design and upcoming local events.

Businesses within walking distance to Norwood Green are also highlighted to showcase the area’s appeal as a place to ‘meet, greet and eat’ and locals share their thoughts on what they love about Norwood.

Copies of heart&soul are available now from local retailers and the Norwood Green Display Centre at 100 Magill Road or read our online version here:

The Norwood Green team is ‘merrily on high’ following our first ever Christmas at the Green community event.

The Display Centre and Warehouse was a hive of festive fun and fare last Sunday and we’d like to thank the wonderful local traders who braved the heat to serve delicious food and drinks.

The Christmas Market was a huge success with many locals snapping up gorgeous clothing and homewares.

It was fantastic to have the Triple M Rock Patrol on hand with cool drinks and giveaways too.

Congratulations to Susanna Cummins from St Morris who won the major prize – an iPad Pro – in our raffle.

Second prize – a gorgeous Christmas gift basket from Outdoors on Parade – went to Jonathan Draysey from Maylands.

The Norwood Green Display Centre will be open daily from 10- 4 over the holiday period except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

CONSTRUCTION of a new Aldi supermarket at the $120 million Norwood Green development on Magill Rd is under way. Earthworks for the supermarket are in progress, with Sarah Constructions expected to commence building works at the site today. Meanwhile, almost all of the first stage release of townhouses at the residential and retail precinct have been sold, with particular interest in a range of two and three-bedroom homes, pictured. Norwood Green project director Daniel De Conno said apartment sales were also progressing well, with significant interest from the downsizer market. “Norwood Green is attracting people who currently live in the Norwood area, and those in surrounding suburbs, who are seeking a city-fringe lifestyle offering with the benefits of a master-planned precinct,” he said. “Our purchasers are excited to see the progress of the Aldi supermarket, which will be a shopping destination right at their doorstep and will complement the range of retail shops that will fringe the apartment buildings at street level.” Norwood Green is a joint project between Aldi and local developers Buildtec and Catcorp. The Aldi supermarket is expected to open in the second quarter of next year.

The Norwood Green Display Centre opened to the public on Saturday 8 June with an event that welcomed local residents and potential buyers.

The Display Centre, built within the last remaining structure of the historic Caroma building at 100 Magill Road Norwood, features a full-sized apartment living area, bedroom and bathroom and is complete with finishes and inclusions.

Demolition at the site is complete and Norwood Green Project Director, Daniel De Conno said the Display Centre will be the stylish new hub for the project.

“The Norwood Green Display Centre will give people a real sense of the design and style of the city-fringe lifestyle offering. We will be showcasing the best products and finishes to truly make Norwood Green a place for everyone.”

“These townhouses and apartments provide a rare opportunity for people to purchase new, high quality homes in Adelaide’s sought-after inner east with a new ALDI Supermarket and Norwood’s finest eateries and pubs within easy walking distance,” Mr De Conno said.

Mr De Conno said the Norwood Green development is tailor-made for people who want to live in Norwood and remain close to the city of Adelaide.

The project features a central park and piazza area, which has been designed as a community space and meeting place for Norwood Green residents and the local community.”

“There will be ample parking for residents and visitors by virtue of a full basement across the apartment building. With the development’s location on the doorstep of the East End and Kent Town, it is well suited to explore the ever-expanding neighbouring food culture.”

The site is being redeveloped by experienced retailers and developers, Aldi, Buildtec and Catcorp.

Friends of the project celebrated the milestone with a private event on Tuesday 28 May.

Visit the Display Centre now at 100 Magill Road, Norwood. Open daily from 10am – 4pm.

Eighteen townhouses will be completed by early 2020 at the new $120 million ‘Norwood Green’ development at the former Caroma factory on Magill Rd, and works will begin on a new Aldi supermarket at the 2ha “residential and retail precinct” by the middle of 2019.

The State Commission Assessment Panel approved the Norwood Green development at 76 Magill Rd last Friday, which includes the supermarket, seven-storey building with around 200 units and 33 two- and three-storey townhouses.

Supermarket works will form phase one of the construction, with demolition planned for early 2019 and works to be completed by early 2020.

However, an opening date has not yet been revealed.

Norwood Green development director Daniel De Conno said the first 18 of 33 townhouses would be delivered by early 2020 on Stephen St, followed by around 120 units in the second phase.

“It will be a rolling project over the next four to five years,” Mr De Conno said.

“The price points will range from just under $300,000 to $1 million, for first homeowners to downsizers.”

Mr De Conno said a showpiece of the development was “significant” open public space — roughly the dimensions of Moseley Square — which would underline the name, Norwood Green.

“It will be a new meeting place for Norwood,” he said.

“There will be a real transformation along Magill Rd, which is pretty cool.

“We are delighted to be a part of the team that will bring about the rejuvenation of the former Caroma site.

“This site has been an iconic part of the Norwood landscape and its redevelopment will provide a rare opportunity to buy a new townhouse or apartment within walking distance to the Parade and CBD.”

The development also includes a “town piazza” with retail shops and other open space areas.

We are making steady progress at Norwood Green with the site demolition almost complete, which will make way for an exciting new community in Adelaide’s most sought after suburb. The on-site display centre is currently being fitted out and an opening date will be announced very soon. Check out the video here for our latest project update:

The former Caroma factory in Norwood was demolished last week, which cleared the way for 33 townhouses and 200 apartments to be built on the two hectare, $120 million site.

It is expected to create 500 jobs during the four-to-five year construction phase, while a further 70 ongoing jobs will be created via Aldi once the supermarket is completed.

Norwood Green project director, Buidltec’s Daniel De Conno, said the development is a significant milestone in unlocking a former industrial pocket to make way for residential and mixed-use development.

“This development will to generate significant private sector investment, generate jobs for the local economy and provide new high quality homes for South Australians,” Mr De Conno said.

“A feature of the project is the central park and piazza area, which will form a new meeting place not only for Norwood Green residents, but also for the surrounding community.”

“There will also be ample parking for residents and visitors via a full basement across the apartment building.”

The Norwood Green sales centre is under construction at the site and will be open to the public in the next few months.

Local resident Robert Nachum said the development is being welcomed by immediate residents.

“People are happy for it to be here. For me it’s about bringing the community together, it’s a case of about time,” he said.

“Something was certainly needed for that site. I came here from Sydney 20 years ago and this area is becoming like Paddington or South Yarra and Prahan in Melbourne.”

The fact of two Aldi supermarkets on the same road — with the other near Glynburn Rd — is nothing but a positive he said and will add to building a community feel.

“It’s a win, win,” he said.

Norwood Green Project Director Daniel De Conno said it is great to see the ALDI supermarket brick façade ‘blending into the Magill Road streetscape’.

“ALDI’s façade was purposefully designed to complement the look of the neighbouring Norwood Green apartment buildings and to also pay homage to the Caroma factory that once stood on the site,” Daniel said.

“We’ll be making further tenancy announcements, including restaurants, cafés and shopping outlets, in coming months which we’re excited to share with the Norwood community.”

Norwood Green is a joint project by South Australian developers Buildtec Group and CatCorp and will see the former Caroma factory site on Magill Road become home to a vibrant new community offering retail shopping, open green spaces as well as residential apartments and townhouses.

Daniel said the project team has been so pleased with the progress of the first stage Appelbee and Chapel townhouses that they brought forward the market release of the next apartment stage, The Stephen Building, which consists of one, two and three bedroom residences.
