Seacliff Village to release first floor plans by Easter

A derelict site is a step closer to becoming a trendy new beachside suburb after developers released floor plans – see the prices here.

One of the city’s worst eyesores is soon to be no more, with new land packages set to transform it into one of the state’s trendiest new suburbs.

Seacliff Village, which will soon occupy the abandoned site on top of Cement Hill in Adelaide’s south, has announced it will soon release the first floor plans for the site, including four-bedroom homes and a number of apartments.

In an email sent to early inquirers, the site expects to release stage one, located towards the northern end of the site, around Easter this year.

The release, designed by Studio 9 architects, will see a number of two-to-three-bedroom strata-titled apartments at the starting price of $600,000, while a number of terrace homes – which will range from two-to-four bedrooms – will begin at $700,000.

The Advertiser revealed last year Villawood Properties signed on to develop the site with 700 townhouses, a shopping centre, medical centre as well a childcare centre.

According to the Villawood website, it highlights premium lifestyle with the feel of a close-knit community.

“At Villawood, we believe in creating close-knit communities, and Seacliff Village is no exception,” says the website.

“Seacliff Village will have its own supermarket and specialty shops too, so it won’t be long before the shopkeepers know your name.

“This is a master planned community designed for interaction and connection – you’ll get as many waves in the park as at the beach.”

After a number of roadblocks, the area was signed off in November 2020, with many saying it was due for a transformation.

After years of the site being used as a cement storage facility and a rubbish dump, it was sold to the Gasparin Group with the intent of developing it for housing.

Local residents have been at the forefront of getting the development get off the ground, spending decades campaigning for the revival of the site.

“It is indeed a much-awaited moment for our community. Some have been waiting over 30 years for this to happen,” a spokesman for the 5049 Coastal Community Association said.

“We have consistently been in favour of the development, not only for its removal of an eyesore but as a significant contribution to our suburb with increased population, diversity and associated amenities.”

The Gasparin Group and Villawood Properties have been contacted for comment.
