Work on new housing for nurses at Sydney Adventist Hospital is making good progress.
“The Quarters—Wahroonga Estate” is due for completion in mid-2026. “It will replace the old nurses’ residences which are no longer fit for purpose and have been condemned by council and will need to be demolished,” said Lorin Bradford, manager of the Division Property Trust, which is leading the project.
The Quarters will provide 126 studio apartments for Avondale University student nurses and Australian National University student doctors; 45 one- and two-bedroom apartments for hospital and South Pacific Division (SPD) staff; 15 serviced apartments for visitors to the Wahroonga Estate (replacing the former transit flats); and 184 car parks.
The development includes four apartment buildings ranging from four to six-storeys, with a three-level underground car park. Funding for the project came from the proceeds of the Parkway San Clinic—a medical specialists centre—and the sale of 24 houses the SPD owned in Mount Pleasant Avenue, Normanhurst.
Additionally, the SPD Property Trust is partnering with Capital Corporation to begin construction of three more apartment blocks (128 dwellings) on the Wahroonga Estate, commencing in July-August. Pre-sales for 59 of these apartments have already been secured, with completion expected in two years. Ten apartments will be retained by the SPD for staff use.
“The apartments will bring some much-needed quality accommodation to the Wahroonga Estate and release value which will be spent on other SPD developments to enhance the mission of the Church,” Mr Bradford said.
