McRae-McMahon Place, named after the former Uniting Church Minister and social justice activist, Rev. Dorothy McRae-McMahon, features 65 homes, from one-bedroom apartments to deluxe penthouses, including 12 apartments for social housing in Leichhardt, 5km west of Sydney's CBD.
Just three apartments were left unsold when it was officially opened last Tuesday. Most residents are moving in on Thursday. McRae-McMahon Place was designed by Morrison Design Partnership Architects, with interiors by Turner, landscape design by Taylor Brammer, and construction by Growthbuilt.
“Australians are living longer, healthier lives which means they’re staying active for longer and want to retain their independence for as long as possible in the comfort of their own homes,” Simon Furness, Uniting's Director of Property and Housing, said.
“McRae-McMahon Place reimagines the notion of retirement living communities. An example of density done well, our "purposeful design" approach means we built McRae-McMahon Place with a focus on residents’ wellbeing and providing them with the opportunity to build community connections through the shared amenities and spaces we’ve created.
“Social isolation and loneliness have a serious impact on seniors so it’s important to us to create environments that increase interaction and make residents happier," Simon said.
McRae-McMahon Place has a walking path to the 49 apartment retirement facility Hawkins Place by Uniting in Leichhardt.
