Officially launched by His Royal Highness in November 2015, construction for the Prince’s Terraces Adelaide project in Bowden is scheduled to commence in August 2016.

The Prince’s Terrace Adelaide is a ground-breaking collaboration between Defence Housing Australia (DHA), the Prince’s Foundation for Building Community and Renewal SA.

As the first residential project to receive a 6 Star Green Star design rating from the Green Building Council of Australia, the terraces encapsulate innovation and world leadership in sustainable design.

The Prince’s Terrace Adelaide will provide 12 high-quality homes — a mix of eight terraces and four flats built as mews behind the terraces.

These homes are predicted to use 50% less energy and 50% less potable water than a typical urban townhouse, with a carbon footprint also reduced by more than 40% when compared to a standard house.

This project will demonstrate the benefit of well-located and sustainable living, with a vision to not only influence DHA’s future projects, but to become a benchmark for residential development in Australia.
