Southern Cross Care (SA, NT & VIC) to redevelop another retirement village
The largest Not For Profit aged care and retirement living provider based in South Australia has announced the redevelopment of its existing retirement village in Northfield, 5km north of the Adelaide CBD.
The new development, to be known as Parkview Retirement Village, will include 29 architecturally designed homes and a community clubhouse and garden.
The announcements comes just a week after the provider’s development application for a new retirement village on 19,416sqm of land adjacent to its existing Carmelite co-located precinct in Myrtle Bank, 3.7km southeast of Adelaide’s CBD.
“Parkview will deliver the perfect blend of affordable homes built for quality and comfort, community facilities that foster social connection and encourage an active lifestyle and an ideal location for staying connected to the broader community,” Southern Cross Care (SA, NT & VIC) CEO David Moran said.
Each home will offer:
- two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes,
- a kitchen with open-plan dining and living area;
- a bathroom and a second toilet;
- separate laundry;
- reverse cycle ducted air-conditioning;
- provisions for services such as NBN; and
- garages with secure automated panel lift doors.
Southern Cross Care has partnered on the project with:
- Builder: Tandem Building Group / Commercial & General;
- Architect: Cube Architects;
- Services Engineer: Lucid Consulting;
- Civil/Structural Engineer: FMG Engineering; and
- Landscape Architect: Albie Landsape Design Studio.
Civil works on the site have begun and building is expected to commence in March this year.
An information session for retirees interested in the new development will be held at the Northgate Community and Sports Club in early March.
Southern Cross Care (known at the time as Southern Cross Homes) opened 40 affordable retirement units on the site in 1974. The units were named after J.C. Sexton, a former Labor Member of the House of Representatives and Member for Adelaide.
By 2025, the units had been vacated and were demolished to make way for the new village.
