Burnside Village has officially launched its highly anticipated Stage 6 expansion, marking the beginning of a transformative new era for one of Adelaide's most iconic retail destinations.
Led by the Cohen Group, this ambitious project is the largest private sector retail property expansion currently underway in South Australia — a clear show of confidence in the state's economic future.
A Major Boost for Jobs and Local Economy
The Stage 6 development has already created more than 1,625 jobs, including 525 during the construction phase and an expected 1,100 ongoing operational roles. Once complete, the expansion is projected to attract over 7 million visitors annually, delivering a major boost to local retail activity and hospitality spending.
Doubling the Village Experience
The first phase of the project has doubled Burnside Village's footprint to 38,500sqm, welcoming over 80 new retailers and significantly enhancing the customer experience. Highlights include:
- 560 additional free undercover car parks across two basement levels, with electric vehicle charging stations
- A brand-new elevated shopping environment with dedicated precincts for home, lifestyle, electrical, health, and wellness
- An expanded dining precinct and enhanced amenities
- Improved accessibility with 9 lifts, 4 travelators, and 3 escalators
- A 365kW solar system with future expansion potential
Burnside Village's reputation as "Where Fashion Lives" has been strengthened with a carefully curated mix of international and Australian fashion brands alongside premium lifestyle retailers.
New Retailers Join the Line-Up
The expansion introduces a diverse mix of newcomers and returning favourites, including:
Aje, Boost Juice, Bupa Dental, Burnie's, Camilla, Carla Zampatti, Coco Republic, Elka Collective, Harry Hartog, Gorman, JB Hi-Fi, July, Kivari, Le Creuset, Macpac, MECCA, Nude Lucy, Oroton, Seafolly, Seed Heritage, Shouz, UNIQLO, and Style Runner.
A Vision for the Future of Retail in SA
Cohen Group CEO Gregg Downer called the launch a "significant evolution" for Burnside Village, marking the completion of the initial structural phase of the project. Burnside Village General Manager Jodie Kannane added that the revitalised space offers "fresh energy and diverse offerings" that will enhance the shopping experience for customers.
The expansion will continue to roll out with additional retailers and dining options launching between June and September 2025.

To celebrate, shoppers who spend over $250 in-centre can claim a Burnside Village gift card and enter a daily prize draw for one of 36 major prizes. Complimentary Espresso Martinis, L'Americano coffee, and mini bambolini will also be available in the Burnside Village Espresso Lounge on Level 1.
