City Walk Centre

City Walk Centre is a seven-level retail and office complex in the heart of Civic, positioned on the corner of City Walk and Mort Street. With entrances from both streets, it brings together specialty retail stores, personal services, boutique offices and a large dance studio on the second floor. Major tenants include 98Gym, Modern Dentistry and Supa 24 Convenience, making it a practical stop for errands, appointments and everyday essentials.

The centre is anchored by King O’Malley’s Tavern, whose outdoor beer garden has been a meeting place for Canberra locals and visitors for more than 25 years. That gives the building a mix of retail, services and social space rather than a conventional shopping-only feel. Its central Civic location also makes it convenient for people already spending time in Canberra’s retail and office precinct.

City Walk Centre has a long local history, having opened in April 1970 and undergone an extensive refurbishment in 2010. The building has since been placed under new ownership and management, with further work underway on the façade, interiors and services. The upper-floor spaces have been refurbished in recent years, and the centre holds a four-star NABERS rating. It suits visitors looking for a central place to combine shopping, personal services, fitness or appointments with a meal or drink at the tavern.
