The Commons Hobart is a visionary new approach to urban living in Hobart, Tasmania, comprising thirty apartments and two retail lots located right in the centre of the city. The building, completed in 2020, was designed to demonstrate environmentally sustainable and socially cohesive urban residential development.
The Commons is an intentional, place-based community. Our intention is to live together harmoniously, with shared values that facilitate our living sustainably with nature and the broader community. Rather than moving into an apartment with no idea who the neighbours are, the residents of The Commons are encouraged to connect and work together to build a vibrant community whilst also pursuing their own interests and lives.
The apartments achieve an average energy efficiency rating of 9 stars. Residents have access to shared rooftop gardens, a communal laundry and a carshare program with two electric cars.

As an intentional, place-based community we contribute to the world in a meaningful way, and show how humans can live in greater harmony with nature and experience profound individual and social flourishing in an urban environment.
