arcadia retirement living

yeronga, brisbane, australia

Located within the Parkside Yeronga urban renewal precinct, Arcadia Retirement Living is a multi-stage development designed for our client RetireAustralia. 

It comprises three buildings on top of a single storey basement and landscaped podium. All three buildings feature 159 independent living apartments ranging from 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, as well as a small Care Hub, with 10 care suites, which provides certainty and security that a continuum of care is provided on site. All ILAs have got access to views of either the city, river and golf course, the park or the schoolyards and suburbia. 

Our vision is to create an exciting and well-integrated retirement village development. The site is the keystone and well positioned in the overall Parkside Yeronga masterplan, centrally located with adjoining lots and the ‘Green Spine’ running directly parallel to the lot along the entire western edge. The landscape and biophilic design are pivotal to creating a sense of place. 

Residents will be able to connect with the landscape wherever they are in the development. Further, the ‘Green Spine’ is part of RetireAustralia’s offering back to the community and this publicly accessible private landscape space plays an integral part of the overall masterplan, acting as the ‘trunk’ which all the surrounding lots to feed into and connect offering a variety of accessible and playful areas as well as interactive gardens along East Rd.
