Our team has been engaged to provide strategic input and a new vision for the existing Edinglassie retirement village located at the foot of the Blue Mountains and the banks of the Nepean River. The vision includes a new masterplan to integrate the existing residential aged care facility and heritage church building and provide 100+ new independent living units for new residents.
Focused on a well-considered landscape setting, the master plan aims to foster an active and engaging lifestyle for its residents. The revitalised village will include a community centre as a hub for social activities – group gatherings, fitness classes, educational workshops, and hobby clubs.
Walking trails, communal gardens, and outdoor seating areas will be available for residents to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and connect with nature. There are also dedicated spaces for other recreational activities.
We progressed from the early feasibility and master-planning process to the development application. It is now in Construction Documentation, and we are novated to Growthbuilt.
Construction is anticipated to commence in July 2025.
