A rewarding partnership with PAC

The Terraces, Presbyterian Aged Care’s (PAC) over 55’s community, occupies the former Scottish Hospital site on Brown Street in Sydney’s Paddington.

Designed by Cottee Parker JPR Architects, The Terraces expands over 1.5 hectares and includes a 100-bed residential aged care facility as well as a 23-bed dementia unit; 70 over 55’s independent living units across four buildings; and the adaptive conversion of the Scottish Hospital heritage building into nine independent living units.

New community facilities include a café, hair and beauty salon, cinema, community and function rooms, swimming pool and gym.

The construction of The Terraces was staged to enable the existing aged care facility to remain operational until all residents could be moved into the new part of the development.
