Townhouses, apartments to reshape Glenside Hospital site
West Australian developer Cedar Woods Properties has been selected by the State Government to transform the former Glenside Hospital site into an inner-city residential mecca of up to 1000 homes.
Cedar Woods announced on the ASX on Thursday morning it had secured 16.5-hectare Glenside site on Fullarton Road, opposite Adelaide Parklands, following negotiations with Renewal SA.
The parcel of land is two kilometres from the heart of Adelaide and surrounded by retail, key services and some of the city’s most sought-after schools.
Cedar Woods’ development director Patrick Archer announced the company would work Renewal SA over the next six months to create the Glenfield master plan to deliver a “well-designed, mixed-use urban neighbourhood”.
“We are experienced in delivery high-quality outcomes from urban infill sites at various projects across Australia,” Archer said.
“The preliminary work we have completed is based on a mix of townhouses and apartments that work with the existing site to provide plenty of public space and preservation of heritage buildings.”
Housing and Urban Development Minister John Rau said Cedar Woods was selected for its vision and experience in delivering medium-to-high density developments.

“I have been clear that development on the site must respond to both the site’s heritage and environmental features and be done in consultation with the community – and this is exactly what Cedar Woods is proposing,” Rau said.
“Open space, sustainability and the heritage buildings are strong features of Cedar Wood’s early proposals, and they will now work with Renewal SA and the community to develop a master plan for site.”
Cedar Woods has built residential developments in Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland and announced it would open an office in Adelaide.
