Since the first store opened in September 2003, 44 Stanley Avenue has become the destination with a difference. A dilapidated, abandoned cluster of workshops and garages has been transformed into a space filled with shops, restaurants and offices. The initiative and drive behind 44 Stanley Avenue was to create a centre in which retailers and business people would all have a particular type of creativity or skill to contribute.

The focus is on urban renewal and the task is to provide an unparalleled lifestyle centre. The wonderfully eclectic mix of shops attest to this: the stores are a blend of the curious and quirky, the adventurous and the sublime.

The buildings at 44 Stanley Avenue used to be the old AA workshops.

While extensive work has been carried out to meet the requirements of each tenant, the overall “urban industrial” character of the premises remains intact. Some walls have been left unpainted and some walkways seem to lead to nowhere. The simple buildings and steel walkways have been pulled together with complementary landscaping including an olive grove and sensitive architectural changes which have given a sense charm and style attracting a creative crowd.

If it’s something different you’re after, the 44 Stanley experience will certainly meet and perhaps even exceed your expectations. Each of the shops in the centre is a delight with unparalleled, highly original merchandise, making your visit a truly unique experience. Great care has gone into selecting the right tenant mix, who in turn have invested a lot of their time and expertise to ensure that your visit to 44 Stanley Avenue is a trendy, urban experience.

The centre caters for those with a taste for something out of the ordinary with designer clothing stores, furniture and antique stores, a flower shop and four restaurants, promising something new to discover at each visit.
