Developers behind a proposed $350m CBD student living tower say its aims to be the country’s most luxurious uni student hotspot.
The proposed 33-storey, 6500sq m building – which would tower above the state’s oldest church – is planned for 88 North Tce and 22-23 Morphett St, Adelaide.
The tower to be built on Trinity Church’s carpark would offer 1002 rooms across 27 levels, including studio apartments, accessible dwellings and three- to four-bedroom units and be Adelaide’s largest student accommodation hub.
A cinema, 24/7 gym, and social hub with a games lounge would be available for students while the project includes outdoor piazza, open space and retail areas for cafes or restaurants.
A dedicated yoga space, study spaces, laundry, communal kitchen and dining area and bicycle storage are included, while the fourth level would house 169 cars.
The plans are in anticipation of the expected extra 6000 international students when the University of Adelaide and UniSA merge in 2026.
Managing director of developer 1835 Property Jason Di Lulio said the tower was set to be one of the best student accommodations in the country.
“We spent the last eight months travelling the country looking at the best and latest student accommodation, and what we have designed here will be the top end of the student experience anywhere in Australia,” Mr Di Lulio said.
Plans lodged to the State Planning Commission for the Trinity Church site also reveal a proposed new three-level building – south and east of Delbridge House and the west of the Parish Hall – while the church’s famed heritage buildings would be upgraded.
The ground level would have a pre-function and foyer space and meeting rooms.
Office spaces will mostly be on level one, with a new link to the eastern elevation of Delbridge House.
Function rooms, a family room and open terrace will sit on the top level.
1835 Property and Marlborough Caption are proposing to partially demolish the southern attachment of the Parish Hall – which has local heritage listing – retaining the hall itself, and cut down a significant tree.
Public transport, Adelaide University City West, the university’s health and medical buildings, SAHMRI, and Royal Adelaide Hospital will also be within short distance of the student hub.
Construction is expected start mid this year and finish by 2027, to officially open by March 2028.
Trinity Network of Church’s senior pastor Paul Harrington said the development was a “wonderful opportunity to enhance (their) ministry”.
“This development will place us at the heart of a vibrant university precinct as well as provide an opportunity to redeploy some of our resources into the growing network of churches we have across metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia,” Mr Harrington said.
