Community housing and services provider Junction has opened its new $36m housing and services hub at Tonsley.
Thrive Tonsley comprises a mix of 50 studio-, one- and two-bedroom social homes across eight levels, a cafe and community spaces.
It is also the new head office for Junction’s workforce of around 400 staff.
Junction chief executive Maria Palumbo said the development provided much needed housing and support for South Australian residents.
“This is about delivering solutions for our community in a really practical and innovative way,” she said.

“From the ground up, the building reflects Junction’s vision of an integrated housing and services offering within a growing, thriving neighbourhood. It shows who we are as an organisation and where we are heading, strengthening the support we provide to communities while expanding our impact.”
The social housing development has been supported by $15.2m from the federal government’s Social Housing Accelerator Program (SHAP), delivered in partnership with the state government and community housing providers.
A second stage of the Thrive project is also well underway, comprising a $35.3m build-to-rent development with 63 affordable apartments.
