Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Capital growth

SA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: low

Zoned Employment (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 2,906 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 3 development applications on this parcel. Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made); Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Under Assessment); Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made) Latest lodgement recorded 2025-06-30. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $540/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

4 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownlow

    Zoned Employment (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 2,906 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 2,906 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Knownmedium

    3 development applications on this parcel. Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made); Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Under Assessment); Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made) Latest lodgement recorded 2025-06-30. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

'CHURCH STUDIOS' � A Sanctuary of Scale and Street Presence Across Three Promine

From its landmark position, Church Studios brings an air of unmatched authority as an exceptional residential church conversion. Spanning three titles across a substantial 2,934m2 corner allotment, it delivers scale, privacy and presence � a sanctuary indelibly woven into Alberton's history.

Sited across two street frontages, the c.1880s estate presents the owner-occupier or investor a chance to live, work, and play within a proud and prominent Portside address.

Formerly the Alberton Baptist Church, it's subtle evolution from a place of worship to a one-of-a-kind lifestyle asset unveils three monumental halls, two kitchens, two striking bathrooms, and up to seven bedrooms � an incredibly fluid blueprint ready to mix and match within its historic stone walls.

Read the full description

The Main Residence:

Bathed in light, it opens with two generous, plantation-shuttered bedrooms setting a calm, residential tone. Beyond, a series of up to six adaptable rooms are open to reinterpretation.

Midway, a family room/home theatre (or an extravagant bedroom) creates more exciting possibilities opposite the everyday easy vibe of the open plan kitchen; an eat-in space hosting a quality Smeg cooker.

Along the corridor, two thoughtfully revamped bathrooms service four well-proportioned rear bedrooms preceding The Court Building.

The Court Building:

Hosting front and rear entry points, history and possibility continue to unfold. This incredible c.1960s addition allows vaulted, decorative ceilings to canopy its voluminous living and entertaining space, greeted by dramatic louvred doors and a whitewashed foyer.

Ideal as a large-scale workshop, studio or exhibition space, French doors open directly to private courtyard gardens.

The Grand Hall:

Here, the ambience rightfully echoes the past, retaining the original WW1 pipe organ and stained-glass cathedral panes that burst artful light into the multi-purpose space, scaled to embrace a home-meets-business concept.

As a crowning threshold between front and rear halls, the chancel-turn-stage is set for anything from a band to a celebrant; beyond its adjoining series of rooms � an optional office and cellar or storage rooms � the final standout lifestyle space features weathered floorboards and a caterer's kitchen.

The Outdoors:

Where nature meets architecture, multiple terraces and zoned garden spaces envisage indoor-outdoor events against magical stone-walled backdrops. A central BBQ patio, connecting the main residence to The Grand Hall, offers an all-weather option with gas plumbing provisions.

Dual street frontages offer vehicle access from both William Street and Port Road, ensuring easy deliveries, private guest valet parking, and future flexibility.

Whether you imagine this significant property as a dual-purpose home and business HQ, an Airbnb venture, or an event destination with a bespoke residence in situ � (STPC), Church Studios is an unrivalled prospect.

An icon in a class of its own � one that grants pivotal access to Semaphore and Port Adelaide's historic Maritime precinct - from one of Adelaide's most influential gateways, offering both high privacy and high exposure.
