2024 – That’s a wrap!

Posted December 2, 2024

2024 was a year of significant growth and achievement at Lot Fourteen!

We welcomed several new tenants and saw our existing tenants expand their teams and capabilities. The district came alive with major events such as the Adelaide Festival and Illuminate Adelaide. Key milestones included multiple EOIs going into market, the launch of our Master Plan, the opening of Kuri Kurru, and the launch of South Australia’s Innovation Places Framework. These accomplishments were further highlighted by numerous industry awards earned by our exceptional tenants.

Just in case you missed it, here were our top stories of 2024…and watch this space for 2025 upcoming news!
