  • Clinical schools and ambulatory care clinics
  • Food and beverage retail and supporting amenities including allied health services
  • Space for community and cultural events
  • Publicly accessible open space for the community
  • Pedestrian prioritised links, including bridges, to easily connect to UNSW’s Kensington Campus and the broader Randwick Hospitals Campus.

The building comprises of:

  • 15 Storeys, including a podium and tower building, containing 35,600m2 GFA (NLA of 30,564m2 commercial and 269m2 retail), connected via airbridge links.
