Development WA is inviting offers from developers for two prime lots in 1909 Subi East, the former Princess Margaret Hospital site.
The WA Government says the next phase in the Subi East project is anticipated to see strong interest, with sites sitting just two kilometres from Perth CBD and within walking distance to West Leederville and Subiaco.
Lot 1 on Roberts Road allows for a development of up to 17 storeys across two towers with ground level mixed use offerings, while Lot 2 on Hamilton Street will be up to 11 storeys.
The two lots have a potential yield of around 300 dwellings, and once complete, the precinct will provide an estimated 1,000 dwellings across six lots.
“We are doing everything we can as a government to release more land for housing supply, including through major long-term urban renewal projects,” said WA Planning and Lands Minister, John Carey.
“The new lots within 1909 Subi East are close to transport links, entertainment precincts, community amenity, high schools, and Subiaco Oval.
“Once complete, the precinct will provide about 1,000 new homes across six apartment sites, including private, affordable and social housing.
“The Government is also retaining and refurbishing key buildings associated with the former Princess Margaret Hospital, including the Boiler House and the Old Outpatient Building.”
The location offers access to two leading high schools, a variety of transport links including West Leederville Station and bus routes along Roberts Road, Hay Street, and Thomas Street, and is surrounded by significant public open space, including the rejuvenated Subiaco Oval precinct and adjoining green spaces and play areas.
1909 Subi East is located on the former Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) site and has strong ties to its past with the Old Outpatient Building, Boiler House, and Godfrey House being retained. Materials from the demolition will be reused in the public realm, and installation of a new Memorial Garden.
Once complete, the Government says the site will comprise of six high density apartment sites complemented by green spaces, public amenities, and rich cultural heritage.
Public activation of the site will commence next month as the Thomas Street underpass re-opens, reinstating direct pedestrian access through to West Perth. The underpass has been transformed with a mural created by Bob Hawke College students following a mentoring program lead by a local artist.
Developers interested in the release of Lots 1 and 2 are encouraged to visit the DevelopmentWA website to find out more.
