Laying foundations for integrated support

In February, work officially began on our New Farm retirement living community.

Built on the site of our former residential care home Treetops, the vertical village of independent living apartments will showcase connected care services including a co-located home and community support team.

Chief Development and Property Officer James Mantis said this evolution marks an exciting next chapter for the inner Brisbane site.

Laying foundations for integrated support

“With the needs and expectations of residents and clients changing, we identified a growing need for more flexible independent living options for locals who are looking to age in place while remaining a part of the New Farm lifestyle,” James said.

“It will be a valuable contribution to the neighbourhood, offering future residents independent living apartments, with access to onsite recreational amenities and health and wellbeing services.”

Group CEO Olivier Chretien was recently onsite with Board Director Stuart Lummis for a turning of the first sod event along with community and project team representatives.

Designed for the New Farm lifestyle

The retirement living community has been designed to deliver connected care and services in keeping with the vibrant local community.

Features include:

  • 40 independent living apartments, with two and three-bedroom options
  • integrated home and community support services hub
  • easy access to on-site management and amenities
  • smart-living technology features.
