Built, with developers Sirona Urban and Australian Unity, alongside MaxCap Group and UniLodge, have celebrated the topping out of the 30-storey UniLodge Perth Central purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development in the heart of Perth’s CBD.
Construction began on the 736-bedroom UniLodge Perth Central scheme in late 2023, with practical completion expected in October this year. UniLodge will operate the scheme, which will be its eighth asset in Western Australia.
UniLodge Perth Central will feature a mix of studio and twin share studio apartments and three-bedroom, four-bedroom and five-bedroom cluster apartments. Amenities include communal study hubs, social spaces, a gym and wellness facilities, ground floor café, and a rooftop communal terrace.
“The WA Government and the City of Perth have sought to attract more city-living residents, and this project is a significant step in that direction.
“The addition of 736 student beds not only contributes to the city’s housing stock, but also supports the growing need for specialised student accommodation as we welcome more international and domestic students to our universities.”
Matthew McNeilly, Managing Director, Sirona Urban
The design prioritises social connection and community integration, reflecting the values of all partners involved. Sirona Urban is serving as joint development manager alongside Australian Unity.
UniLodge Perth Central was designed by Hayball and represents Sirona Urban’s commitment to developments that are people-focused and designed to meet the evolving needs of urban communities.
Scheduled to welcome students in time for the first semester of 2026, UniLodge Perth Central will coincide with the opening of the new Edith Cowan University city campus, a cornerstone of the Perth City Deal, further enhancing Perth’s appeal as a destination for education and urban living.
