A $48 million Unity Housing development at Henley Beach South, ‘Coast’, was officially opened by Housing and Urban Development Minister Nick Champion yesterday. This significant project provides much-needed social and affordable homes to the community.

Delivered by Unity Housing in partnership with SA Housing Trust, this unique green, all-electric development includes 700 solar panels and car chargers for tenants in the affordable rental properties, open community greenspace and street landscaping. Tenants have already begun moving in.

The 70 home mixed-housing development includes:

• 27 two-and-three bedroom social and affordable rental townhouses and apartments, owned and operated by Unity Housing built to Supported Disability standards.
• 23 two-bedroom social rental apartments for people aged 55 and over, owned by the Trust and managed by Unity Housing.
• 20 townhouses increasing housing supply to the open market.

Designed by City Collective and built by Centina, these modern, all-electric homes are located on the sought-after Henley Beach Road, just a few blocks from the beach.

The new development replaces 52 outdated public housing flats built in 1957. It was designed to strengthen the local community through thoughtful design, strong partnerships, and genuine community engagement.
