Named after Catherine Helen Spence I would assume. The social political reformer portrayed on the five dollar note. There’s a statue of her in Light Square.

What is "social housing"? Does that mean Housing Trust (or whatever organisation has replaced that), or is it the same as "Affordable housing", or some other concept entirely?

Lauren Novak, Social Policy Editor, The Advertiser
A 13-storey apartment building offering affordable housing in the city will be named after a pioneering South Australian woman.
The $25 million Spence on Light development will feature 75 apartments on Light Square, including 40 owned by the State Government.
It is named in honour of suffragist Catherine Helen Spence, who advocated for the vote for women and was named among The Advertiser’s list of 125 Ceiling Smashers.
The building’s 75 accessible one and two-bedroom apartments will include 53 affordable and social housing apartments, 16 group apartments and six apartments for people living with disability.
The South Australian Housing Authority has bought 40 of the apartments at a cost of $14.5 million.
ACH Group has bought 16 group apartments and the remainder will be owned by Housing Choices SA.
The development will also include a ground floor space and community cafe for residents and visitors.
Human Services Minister Michelle Lensink said it would increase affordable housing options in the city, particularly for older homeseekers and those with a disability.
The project is designed by South Australian architecture firm Tectvs and will be built by Hindmarsh Construction.
It is expected to be complete by mid-2020.
I can't find a render of the north or south, where did you see that? With 75 apartments, I'm not sure how they could get away without at least light wells on those sides.
