86 Giles Street, Kingston ACT 2604, Australia
The property sits on a 1,063 m² land parcel. This size provides ample footprint for medium‑scale commercial development.
Kingston south of Wentworth Avenue is generally zoned for medium‑density development with a predominant height of three storeys, increasing to four storeys where the building does not dominate the street frontage. Some nearby sites allow up to six storeys under specific conditions, so the zoning supports low‑rise commercial or mixed‑use projects.
The property is located on Giles Street with direct access to the major thoroughfare Wentworth Avenue, which runs northwest‑southeast through Kingston. It is also close to the Canberra railway station and a bus shelter on Giles Street, offering convenient public‑transport connections.
Within a 0‑1 km radius are the Kingston Shopping Centre, the Old Bus Depot Markets, several hotels (e.g., Abode Kingston, Knightsbridge Canberra), and the Canberra Glassworks art museum. These venues provide foot traffic, dining options, and networking opportunities for businesses.
The Australian Association of Social Workers and the Healing Foundation are both about 0.3 km away, providing potential professional contacts. Additionally, the proximity to the embassy of El Salvador and other community groups creates further networking possibilities.
The railway station is located within the Kingston suburb, roughly 0.5 km from the site. This proximity allows easy commuter access for staff and customers and enhances the property’s appeal for businesses requiring strong transport links.
Kingston contains several heritage‑listed precincts, including the Kingston Powerhouse Historic Precinct and the Kingston/Griffith Garden City heritage area. While the immediate site is not noted as heritage‑protected, nearby developments are subject to height and design controls to preserve the character of these zones.
