In the heart of Adelaide a new landmark residential precinct presents buyers with the opportunity to join a community that blends stylish design with sustainable living—all at an attainable price point.
Forestville embodies Adelaide’s vibrant culture, offering easy access to farm-style marketplaces, an eclectic café scene, and beautifully designed green open spaces.
Mark Devine, State Manager SA, shares that this visionary project, crafted by the renowned developer Peet, is set to redefine urban living in Adelaide.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to get into the Forestville area,” he says.
“It’s close to Adelaide’s iconic showgrounds, close to the city, and being a pre-planned project, it has been thoughtfully put together by our architects, who have had both the streetscape and the home design in mind.”

Forestville features multiple precincts that seamlessly integrate and uplift aspects of daily life.
Inspired by culture and nature
Forestville is a development that’s taking design to a whole new level.
The layout features multiple interconnected precincts that seamlessly integrate and uplift aspects of daily life.
The central social hub of the development is The Market Square, also known as The Agora—a market hall-style shopping plaza that Choi, development manager with Commercial Retail Group and a co-founder of Architecture for Change, calls ‘a new town square’ based around trade and exchange.
This will give residents access to local produce, exquisite dining, sensational wines, and exceptional coffee that Adelaide is famous for.
“Imagine a bustling, vibrant market hall, very different from your standard shopping centre that has a key cutter and a bubble tea shop,” he says.
“We’ve stripped back a lot of what would normally be behind closed doors.
“If you go to a market – a real market – someone’s carrying a pig over their shoulder or there’s a giant fish that’s just been caught, and they’re bringing it in.”
This focus on community connection, Choi says, who is also one of the principal architects of the development, is all about tapping into the spectrum of what makes our lives easier and better:
Interiors feature European oak flooring, SMEG appliances and floor-to-ceiling windows.
“On one end of the spectrum, community is really about living in the safest, securest way where you are connected to people because it’s actually part of our survival instinct.
“At the other end of the spectrum, you want people to live and work together, you want them to socialise and, in our case, it’s shopping, eating, and learning.
“Really, it’s about connecting to people.”
Another critical project precinct is the Adelaide’s first rooftop farm—a 2,500sqm space that will be run in partnership with Youth Inc., an alternative learning school for 17 to 24-year-olds.
“That is a key part of the urban farm, because the school is the custodian,” Choi says.
The education program promises benefits that lie in community-conscious learning. But beyond this, it also plays a role in changing thinking about how we organise our cities.
“We’re talking about a future which is heavily affected by the changing climate, so it’s looking at how we can bring agriculture into urban settings and how it might be replicable in lots of other places,” Choi says.
And while the crops will be tended by the school, the space is designed to be another respite for Forestville residents and visitors.
“The public can come up and interact and engage through just sitting there and having rest, through coming and planting something, workshops, events – there’s a lot of different ways that we’re structuring it,” Choi says.
Whether it’s spending an afternoon shopping in the market hall, eating the hyper-local produce, or just relaxing in a shared green space, Choi is hopeful that the future residents of Forestville will have a lifestyle rich in all the benefits of true community living.
Inspired by mid-century aesthetics, each home blends classic elegance with modern luxury.
Terrace living at its finest
Among the 300 apartments and townhouses sprinkled throughout the carefully planned project are the stunning terrace homes, starting at $1,099,000 for a fixed-price Torrens-titled terrace home.
These homes draw inspiration from mid-century aesthetics, blending classic elegance and modern luxury.
“They’re two- and three-storey, larger homes, up to 280 square metres of living area,” says Devine.
“They have been designed for living with lots of natural light, double garages, balconies overlooking new landscaped areas, and some have rooftop views of the city skyline.”
Residents can choose between three colour schemes, allowing them to personalise their space.
The interiors boast European oak flooring, SMEG appliances, floor-to-ceiling windows, thermal comfort, and provisions for electric vehicle charging.
Devine says three colour schemes allow homeowners to create a space that truly reflects their style and preferences.
“These are three distinct colour schemes which include special embellishments so the customer has plenty of choice,” he said.
“There’s also some optional higher-end range, which people can select for their homes too.”
Each home also includes double off-street parking, ensuring convenience for residents.
A golden location
Located at 10 Anzac Highway, Forestville residents are within walking distance of the CBD.
It is well-serviced in terms of transport, with the Brown Hill Creek and the Glenelg tram lines in the area.
It’s a short stroll to the Adelaide Showground, where the famous Farmers’ Market is held on Sunday, attracting around 6,000 people every weekend.
Devine adds that the suburb has been increasingly attractive to buyers in recent years, and this project is expected to attract an array of buyers, from young professionals to young families and retirees.
The Peet project also offers a more affordable opportunity to buy in, with terrace homes on the market for under the median price for Forrestville of $1,190,000.
