Junction will build a landmark $53.6 million housing and services hub in Adelaide’s north.

Thrive Salisbury will see the creation of 69 new social homes for South Australians within a six-storey building – to be constructed as part of the much anticipated $200 million Salisbury city centre development.

Junction CEO Maria Palumbo said Junction was ideally positioned to expand its footprint and help more South Australians into housing.

“We are extremely excited about this project which will increase our reach across the metropolitan area,” Ms Palumbo said. “This is the first time we will be developing new housing in the north.

“It’s a significant step for us and one which is instrumental to our growth and impact.”

Thrive Salisbury will be funded by Housing Australia via the second round of the Housing Australia Future Fund Facility (HAFFF), designed to increase the supply of social and affordable housing across the country.

The project will feature 37 one-bedroom and 32 two-bedroom apartments, all which will be retained for social housing. The development, designed by Brown Falconer, will also include a ground floor services hub and community space.

“Having the opportunity to help bring the City of Salisbury’s vision to life is a huge privilege,” Ms Palumbo said. “Thrive Salisbury is modelled on what we are achieving in our development within the Tonsley innovation precinct.”

“We are looking really forward to working with Council along with local people and business to activate what is going to be a vibrant precinct with some of the best amenities in the northern region.”

City of Salisbury Mayor Gillian Aldridge OAM said: “We’re excited to welcome Junction Housing into the City Centre, bringing more housing opportunities for our community.

“We look forward to works commencing, signalling the start of the major redevelopment of our City Centre.”

Construction on Thrive Salisbury is expected to start mid-next year and completed in late 2028.

Housing Australia CEO Scott Langford said: “Through the HAFFF and our partnership with Junction, we’re supporting the delivery of more social housing where it’s needed most.

“This is about creating opportunities for individuals and families to access safe, secure housing and build stronger futures.

“These projects demonstrate how collaboration can transform communities and improve housing outcomes for South Australians.”

The Salisbury City Centre revitalisation project is being delivered by the City of Salisbury in conjunction with Buildtec Group and Catcorp. Buildtec Group and Catcorp will also partner within Junction on Thrive Salisbury.
