U City Development

U City is a AU$100 million project for the delivery of a 20-level multi-function tower block. It features a mixture of retirement residences, specialist disability and accessible accommodation, a social services hub, retail, community arts and cultural space, commercial facilities, and public access areas.

The area was revitalised with direct access to the market precinct through a rejuvenated laneway and public use foyer. A key element of this project was the significant transformation of the Uniting Communities business as it prepares to own and manage this significant structure and the multiplicity of functions it will offer.

TSA Riley was the Project Director, responsible for managing the delivery of this project. We were a member of the client’s executive team, providing business leadership to support the relocation, reconfiguration and cultural shift to transition Uniting Communities to a new home. TSA Riley also had a lead role in the concept development, delivery methodology and providing a governance framework to support the Board and Redevelopment Steering Committee.

Officially opened in August 2019, U City is South Australia’s first Certified Carbon Neutral Whole Building.
