Designed For
Living Well

Created by award-winning architects ClarkeHopkinsClarke, every residence, amenity, and common area is shaped by how people actually want to live—with space to be independent, stay active, and connected, all with greater control over what you use and pay for.

The development will consist of 6, 2-and-3-bedroom retirement living apartments, penthouses and town homes – and it will be integrated with a broader senior living precinct, featuring:
• 45 residential aged care suites – meticulously designed private suites integrated seamlessly into the broader architectural vision

• Community spaces – a central café with a curated grocery offering, community hall and flexible activity rooms forming the social heart of the building

• Wellness facilities – a pool, spa, sauna, gym, and allied health consulting rooms supporting vitality at every stage

• Creative spaces – purpose-built art studio and craft workshop

• Everyday amenities – private cinema, salon and landscaped gardens integrated into the architectural landscape.
All apartments and common areas have been designed to maximise uninterrupted views of the Shrublands Creek Reserve that will be rejuvenated with native landscaping to accompany the several mature gum trees already onsite.

Construction is anticipated to commence in late 2026, and the community will be ready for residents to start moving in from late 2028.
