With its community‑focused design, proximity to services and integrated support model, Tucker Street has become a vital social infrastructure asset for metropolitan Adelaide.
Tucker Street Apartments
A secure home for older women.
Women over 55 are Australia’s fastest-growing group experiencing homelessness.
Tucker Street Apartments responds directly to this need, providing 50 modern studio apartments for older women at risk of homelessness in Adelaide’s CBD. The six-storey development provides safe, secure and well-located homes, supported by onsite services through the SA Housing Trust.
The apartments include private balconies, self-contained kitchens and laundries and are designed for future adaptability, with five fully accessible apartments. Shared facilities include communal gardens, meeting and multi-use spaces, a computer room with free Wi-Fi and dedicated areas for tenant support services.
Delivering housing with purpose.
RCP provided project management, superintendent and programming services across design, procurement and construction.
Delivery on the constrained inner-city site required careful coordination with neighbouring properties, service providers and SA Housing Trust operational requirements. RCP also worked with stakeholders to ensure the building and its shared spaces supported the needs of residents and the delivery of ongoing health and wellbeing services.
Tucker Street Apartments provides long-term housing that supports greater independence, security and wellbeing for older women at risk of homelessness.
