Frankston Hospital redevelopment hits maximum height

After one million hours of work, and 40,000 cubic meters of concrete poured, the $1.1 billion redevelopment of Frankston Hospital has reached structural completion.

Topping out at 13 levels above ground, the new clinical services tower includes 12 levels of patient services, a plant and equipment level, and a rooftop helipad.

Works are now focused on the façade installation and internal fit-out. The striking earthy-coloured façade panels have already started to wrap around the building.

Construction of the new tower is on track to be completed in 2025.

Take a look at the tower's progress in this video.
