Summary:
- Two new student accommodation towers have received planning approval in Adelaide’s CBD: a 35-storey development on Pulteney Street with 480 beds, retail, café, and student facilities by Pulteney Street Student Accommodation Pty Ltd’s WRAP Student Living brand; and a 33-storey, 570-bed tower with communal amenities replacing the heritage-listed Duke of York Hotel, led by Victorian developer TAL GP Projects.
- Both projects must substantially commence within two years and join a growing pipeline of large-scale student housing developments in Adelaide, including the $400 million Trinity Church site on North Terrace due for completion by April 2028, and the ongoing 29-storey tower near the Crown & Anchor Hotel.
- The Pulteney Street site, currently a creative precinct with tenants like Clarity record store and LOC Bottle Bar, will transition from a 1960s commercial building to a modern student hub, while the Duke of York Hotel’s rear structures and beer garden will be demolished to accommodate the new tower, marking a significant change to a heritage-listed site.
