By GlobalDataLast August, the Queensland government announced that Australian Unity has been chosen to develop the Herston Quarter through a bidding process.
Herston Quarter is situated close to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.
This project will include a specialist rehabilitation and ambulatory care centre; a private hospital; residential aged care; childcare; retirement living and student accommodation; a co-working hub and education and training facilities.
Australian Unity chief investment officer David Bryant said: “Herston Quarter will combine our experience in the construction of hospitals and the operation of ‘hard’ social infrastructure such as aged care and retirement villages with our expertise in the provision of ‘soft’ social infrastructure, such as our preventative health businesses, playing an integral part in the health research element of the project.”
The project is expected to take five to ten years to complete. Construction will be completed in stages.
