A partnership with My Foundations Youth Housing (MFYH) is providing short-term accommodation for at-risk youth and refugees at the former Adina Apartment Hotel. The project acts as a critical stopgap to provide residents with safe, secure and affordable housing.

The Central Project housing initiative is being undertaken by Dexus, Atlassian and TOGA Group. The project is located alongside the site for Atlassian Central which is co-owned by dexus and Atlassian and being developed by Dexus. Along with Central Place Sydney, Atlassian and TOGA Group’s building will bookend the northern end of Sydney’s new technology and innovation precinct, Tech Central.

In early 2023, part of the former Adina Apartment Hotel was converted into interim housing solution for The Central Project, while the project’s Development Approval is being assessed.

Supporting this initiative, social initiative Thread Together has been provided with retail space to provide the residents with brand new clothing.

Rebecca Mullins, CEO, MFYH, said the project showcases the impact of collaboration between corporate partners and charitable bodies.

“MFYH believes all young people should have a safe, supportive and affordable home, and this project offers accommodation smack bang in Central Sydney for people in need, with transport connections and job opportunities on their doorstep.”
