Dexus established Australia's first portfolio of hospital and healthcare assets to have an environmentally sustainable development focus. Core assets include the Calvary Adelaide Hospital and GP Plus Health Care Adelaide, the North Shore Health Hub in St Leonards in Sydney and a medical research facility in Adelaide.
The fund aims to set a new low carbon benchmark for a healthcare facility, reducing operational energy use and emissions through a range of sustainability features. These include passive design, energy efficiency, on-site renewable energy and low emissions transport solutions, such as those at the North Shore Health Hub.
The healthcare sector is ideally suited to benefit from sustainability and clean energy technologies, cutting operating costs as well as lowering emissions. Together with Dexus, we are committed to accelerating a low emissions transition in this vital part of our economy.
