The village centres around beautifully landscaped gardens, with a relaxing water feature and a resort-style indoor pool.  It is located in the heart of Leichhardt and the Sydney CBD is in easy reach.  The property offers 65 independent living units, including 10 affordable housing units, spread across two six-storey buildings above a single-level basement.

The apartments range in size and layout from two-bedroom apartments to deluxe penthouses. All are spacious and private, with plenty of sunlight and natural ventilation. Many have views over the district and Harbour Bridge.

The ground level features a community club, swimming pool, and communal areas, while the roof level offers additional open communal space.

As one of the earliest projects under the Design and Building Practitioners (DBP) Act, we successfully delivered the project, meeting client expectations and adapting to evolving regulations.  Despite facing significant challenges in the construction industry during and after the pandemic, the project was completed late 2023, overcoming these obstacles and delivering a high-quality result.
