60 Giles Street, Kingston ACT 2604, Australia
The property sits on a 1,047 m² land parcel, providing a substantial footprint for commercial development. The total floor area that can be built will depend on the allowable building height under local zoning rules.
Most of Kingston south of Wentworth Avenue is zoned for a predominant height of three storeys, with a maximum of four storeys where the building is not the dominant street frontage. Certain precincts, such as parts of the Kingston Group Centre, may permit up to six storeys under specific conditions.
The property is accessed via Giles Street and is close to Wentworth Avenue, the main arterial road through Kingston. It is also within a short walk of the Canberra railway station and a bus shelter on Giles Street, offering both car and public‑transport options.
The site sits near the Kingston Shopping Centre, the historic Kingston Powerhouse, and the weekly Old Bus Depot Markets, all generating foot traffic. A cluster of hotels (e.g., Abode Kingston, Knightsbridge Canberra) and professional organisations are also within 0.5‑km, providing additional client and visitor sources.
A bus shelter is located on Giles Street, and the Canberra railway station is approximately 0.5 km away, giving easy access for commuters. Several bus routes run along Wentworth Avenue and surrounding streets.
Kingston has a high concentration of professionals (about 45 % of residents) and a significant proportion of central‑government employees (25.5 %). This educated and stable workforce can be attractive for a range of commercial services.
Kingston contains heritage‑listed areas such as the Kingston Powerhouse Historic Precinct and the Kingston/Griffith Garden City heritage precinct. While the immediate site is not listed, nearby heritage zones may influence design approvals and height restrictions.
