The former Brompton Gasworks site is a very special and integral piece of Adelaide’s industrial and social heritage. In partnership with Renewal SA, MAB will transform and activate the site to become a vibrant urban village that celebrates its historical identity.
Located in the thriving Bowden precinct, The Gasworks development is set to deliver a masterplanned village with townhouses, apartments, hotel, commercial hub and a commitment to provide in excess of 15% affordable housing.
At the heart of the new community will sit the Heritage Precinct, a place which will see the restoration and reuse of former Gasworks structures featuring retail, food and beverage offerings. Over 25% of the site will be dedicated to large and interconnected public spaces including parks, gardens and play spaces.
The development will be a gas free precinct. In a South Australian first, all power across the project will be delivered via 100% renewable energy and will achieve a 6 Star Green Star community rating in accordance with the Green Building Council of Australia’s, Green Star – Communities Framework.
