Hamilton Hill – the visionary development on the site of the former youth prison at Woodforde – is one step closer to completion as construction starts on the masterplanned community’s final stage.
Work has begun on the final 53 architecturally-designed homes – all of which are pre-sold.
When completed, they will take the Scottish-themed development’s total to 150 traditional house allotments, 184 townhouses and 106 apartments across two buildings.
All up, they are expected to house more than 1000 residents.

The Build Society-built final apartments, called St Andrews, round out the Kite Projects development above Magill in the leafy foothills – a site was initially earmarked for housing in 2006, with work commencing in 2016.

Aside from the 440 homes, the development also features a public–accessible 6ha reserve complete with an outdoor amphitheatre incorporated into the natural contours of the land.
Kite Projects developer Damon Nagel said Hamilton Hill was a unique offering, and one that had resonated with buyers.

“Adelaide’s eastern suburbs hasn’t seen a range of housing choice and amenity delivered in a masterplanned community such as this,” Mr Nagel said.
“Our buyers and investors have appreciated the care and attention we have shown across the entire design and planning process right down to the stormwater management which alleviates downstream pressure on neighbouring suburbs.”

Mr Nagel said he was thrilled to see the project reach its final stage and the full vision for Hamilton Hills realised.
“I’m incredibly proud of it and humbled by the fact that so many people have hung in there and backed us during – considering covid fell right in the middle of this – what were some really challenging times,” he said.

“We’ve had a brilliant crew work so hard for so long and this really is a fantastic reward for all of their hard work.
“I can’t wait for our final residents to call St Andrews home.”

Resident Jamie Borne loved the development so much he has also invested in St Andrews.
“I was attracted to the design, but also knew these apartments couldn’t be replicated,” Mr Borne said.
“I also recognise that the strong demand for rentals in this pocket will only continue to grow, as will the appeal of the landscaped surrounds.”
Work on the final stage is expected to be completed in early 2027.
