Hyecorp Property Group expects to complete and settle its first venture into retirement living, Hyegrove Willoughby, mid-next year after topping out its six buildings this month in the suburb, 8km north of Sydney’s CBD.
The ‘Heart of Willoughby’ precinct will feature a new three-level Club Willoughby as well as the 111-apartment Hyegrove Willoughby luxury retirement village, 47 private high care suites, a retail precinct, and 2,000sqm of open space including a community park and memorial gardens.
HyeCare, a new private home care division of Hyecorp, will provide an integrated care model to Hyegrove Willoughby residents offering a full continuum of care with residents being able to access HyeCare’s home care from their apartment or having the option to move into a suite and receive a higher level of care including permanent and temporary respite care, palliative care and dementia care.
The private care suites will be set up as three small ‘homes’ with kitchens, dining rooms and lounge areas.
Village residents will also have access to a Concierge service, Registered Nurses on site 24/7, complimentary twice weekly basic groceries delivered to their apartments, bed linen and towels changed weekly and an on-site building manager.
In addition, the amenities include an indoor swimming pool (pictured), spa and sauna, café, beauty salon, cinema, private dining and wine-tasting room, gym and Pilates studio, arts and crafts studio, multiple rooftop entertaining areas, games room and library.
75% of the apartments have now been sold off-the-plan, with purchasers given the opportunity of custom designing their apartment through Hyecorp’s Live Your Way service with add-ons such as heated flooring, wallpaper, pendant lights, and smart home automation systems.
Patrick Abolakian, Managing Director of Hyegrove, said their vision is to create a state-of-the-art showcase for Willoughby offering a range of facilities and services for community members of all ages.
“As people age and require more services and help, we can provide whatever they need whether it is having the heavy laundry done, meals delivered or daily nursing services, that level of care can be dialled up or down.
“It’s about putting the control into their hands, a characteristic that is too often not available to people living in retirement communities or aged care facilities.”
Hyegrove Willoughby is being assisted in its sales and operations by Cameron Kirby of Chanje Partners.
