Panoramic views of the Yarra Ranges. The community centre is like an extension of the residents’ homes.

MiCare 741 delivers high-level supported care through a mix of contemporary two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-study apartments. A large community centre and secure on-site parking are located at the heart of the development.

The design is a response to the site’s extreme falling contours. Clusters of residential apartments are built on four stepped levels across the site. The floor plans and stepped building levels create numerous intimate semi-private landscaped courtyards.

Many of the apartments and the community centre have commanding views to the north including panoramic views of the Yarra Ranges.

The community centre offers a large dining area, commercial kitchen, chapel, club lounge, library, gym/wellness centre, hair salon and a covered outdoor terrace (including a barbeque).

The development also offers additional support to its residents through a nearby MiCare-operated aged care complex, which provides immediate health, administration and well-being services support.
