31 Giles Street, Kingston ACT 2604, Australia
The site sits on 1,307 m² of land. In Kingston the prevailing zoning allows medium‑density developments of up to three storeys (four where the street frontage allows), making the parcel suitable for a range of commercial or mixed‑use projects.
Kingston south of Wentworth Avenue is generally zoned for a predominant height of three storeys, with a maximum of four storeys where it does not dominate the street frontage. The parcel is therefore expected to be subject to those height and land‑use parameters.
The property is accessed via Giles Street and is close to Wentworth Avenue, the main arterial road through Kingston. It is also within walking distance (about 0.5 km) of the Canberra railway station and a nearby bus shelter on Giles Street, providing easy public‑transport options.
The location sits adjacent to the Kingston Shopping Centre and is surrounded by hotels (e.g., Abode Kingston, Knightsbridge Canberra, Pinnacle Apartments) and cultural venues such as Canberra Glassworks and the Old Bus Depot Markets, offering a steady flow of visitors and potential customers.
Kingston contains several heritage‑listed precincts, including the Kingston Powerhouse Historic Precinct and the Kingston/Griffith Garden City heritage area. While the exact siting of 31 Giles Street relative to these zones isn’t specified, prospective developments should review heritage overlays to ensure compliance.
Kingston is known for a lively nightlife, café culture, and regular events such as the Sunday Old Bus Depot Markets, creating a vibrant commercial atmosphere that can benefit retail, hospitality, and professional services.
