A $100 million private hospital has been built in the heart of the Sunshine Coast.

The landmark Maroochy Private Hospital has officially reached practical completion, with the builder handing the 10-storey facility over to the developer more than six weeks ahead of schedule.

The hospital forms part of a growing health and research hub, which will bring together surgical specialties, allied health services, advanced imaging, clinical trials, and education within the Maroochydore City Centre.

McNab started construction in January last year and has now officially passed the building over to Fortius Hospitals, who will lead the internal fit-out of the hospital across Levels 8 and 9.

Other medical tenants will also start fit-out works in their dedicated spaces in the coming weeks, including Sunshine Coast Orthopaedic Group, Sunshine Coast Radiology, Sports & Spinal, and the University of the Sunshine Coast, with the hospital on track to open early next year.

Maroochy Private Hospital Associate Professor Daevyd Rodda was delighted with the facility’s progress.

“Reaching practical completion ahead of schedule is a testament to the dedication and precision of the McNab project team, and we thank them for their wonderful contribution to a facility that will have long-term benefits for the community,” he said.

“We’re creating more than a hospital: it’s a health and research ecosystem designed to raise the bar for private care. This milestone brings us one step closer to opening and offering world-class patient outcomes in a collaborative health environment,” said  from

Designed with hospital users in mind, the building incorporates a curtain-wall glazed facade to maximise natural light, curved glass corners, and a distinctive cantilevered Level 8.

It’s also targeting a 4-star Green Building rating, integrating energy efficiency and low-carbon materials throughout the structure.

Once operational, the hospital will create over 400 local jobs and expand healthcare access across the region.
