12/22-30 Franklin Street, Griffith ACT 2603
Unit 12, 22-30 Franklin Street, Griffith presents a rare opportunity to secure a boutique 87sqm tenancy in the heart of Manuka, directly opposite the newly completed hotel and surrounded by some of the Inner South’s most established cafés, restaurants and specialty retailers.
Previously occupied by the well-known Downtown Milk Bar, the tenancy enjoys excellent exposure facing Franklin Street and benefits from the steady pedestrian activity generated by the Manuka shopping precinct. Opportunities of this size in this location are increasingly difficult to secure, particularly with the additional activity and visitors expected from the new hotel directly across the street.
Importantly, the property benefits from a broad Crown Lease purpose clause, allowing a wide range of potential uses. This flexibility opens the door for many different types of businesses to take advantage of the location, whether retail, hospitality or specialty service operators seeking a presence within the Manuka precinct.
Adding to the rarity of the opportunity, the premises is being offered to the market for the first time in approximately 30 years, highlighting how tightly held quality space in this precinct truly is.
Manuka continues to be one of Canberra’s most desirable commercial and lifestyle destinations, attracting a loyal and affluent customer base from the surrounding Inner South suburbs including Griffith, Forrest and Red Hill, along with professionals and visitors from nearby Barton, the Parliamentary Triangle and the CBD only minutes away.
This tenancy provides an excellent opportunity for a business seeking a prestigious inner south address in a location where spaces rarely become available. With its manageable size, prominent position and established surrounding amenity, the property offers a practical and appealing setting for operators looking to establish themselves within the Manuka precinct.
