Coles has been secured as the supermarket anchor for The Erskineville Village, marking a major retail milestone in the transformation of a former industrial site into a new mixed-use neighbourhood in Sydney’s inner city.
The retailer will deliver a full-line supermarket, supported by Liquorland.
Once complete, The Erskineville Village will be the only full-line supermarket-anchored retail destination in the primary trade area, responding to demand for grocery, dining, wellness and everyday services across the rapidly transforming Ashmore Estate, according to the project’s developer Coronation Property.
Located at 155 Mitchell Rd, Erskineville, the precinct will bring together more than 1075 build-to-rent apartments, 128 build-to-sell residences, approximately 4800sqm of curated retail space and 7000sqm of public open space at McPherson Park.
The City of Sydney has recognised the project’s contribution to housing supply, affordable housing, public open space and community benefit.
Supporting everyday living
Coronation Property Managing Director Joe Nahas says securing Coles is a major milestone in the delivery of The Erskineville Village and the broader renewal of the Ashmore Estate.
“Erskineville is one of Sydney’s most established inner-city communities, but this site has been closed off from the suburb for decades,” he says.
“The Erskineville Village is about opening that land back up and creating a place that supports how people live every day, from homes and public open space to grocery, dining, wellness and local services.
“Securing Coles, supported by Liquorland, is a major step in delivering that vision. It brings a full-line supermarket into the heart of the precinct and provides the everyday amenity that helps make a neighbourhood work.
“This is what well-planned urban renewal should do: deliver new homes, open space, infrastructure and the daily services communities need to grow well.”
Coles Head of National Leasing Tim Roberts says the new store will support the growing Erskineville community.
“Coles is excited to be part of The Erskineville Village and to bring a full-line supermarket with a modern shopping experience to this growing area,” he says.
“The new store will provide local residents, workers and visitors with great value and convenience across fresh food, groceries and everyday essentials. Together with Liquorland, we look forward to supporting the everyday needs of the Erskineville community as the precinct comes to life.”
Leasing opportunities
Leasing is now underway for the remaining retail tenancies, with opportunities available for destination food and beverage operators alongside health, beauty and wellness providers.
Tenancies range from approximately 30sqm to 300sqm, with opportunities for alfresco dining, dine-in experiences, premium takeaway concepts and boutique wellness uses.
The Erskineville Village is expected to complete in the second quarter of 2028.
