In June 2012, New Radcliffe House, further south on the opposite side of Walton Street, on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter development site, was completed by the construction company Longcross.[1] The centre moved into the ground floor of this new building in 2012.[2] The architects were Hawkins Brown, based in London and the building cost £11 million.[3] Its location has opened up a view of the historic Grade I listed Radcliffe Observatory from Walton Street. The building is owned by Oxford University and the ground floor is leased to the NHS.

There are two separate practices in the building: Dr Leaver and partners, and Dr Kearley and partners. The local District Nurses and Health Visitors are also based in the building.
