Lifestyle retirement for patrons of the arts.

The site for this retirement village, located on Vine Street cul de sac, overlooks dense foliage alongside banks of the Yarra. A short walk from Melbourne’s Museum of Modern Art at Heidi, the location is a long established hub for an elite arts community in Melbourne. A retirement village for these patrons of the arts has been keenly awaited.

This village accommodates 85 premium independent living apartments, complemented with a large variety of community areas. They include several lounges, a business centre, fine dining restaurant, café bar, sports bar, salon and a wellness centre. There is provision for one car parking space to each apartment. There are over 20 apartment layouts ranging from single bedroom apartments to three-bedroom penthouses.

Market research described the target segment as innovators. Its concept, interiors and numerous small details underwent rigorous design reviews to ensure the product pitched perfectly at this target market.
