Context is Everything

This active senior living village is conceived as a contemporary, lock-and-leave community for downsizers seeking connection, wellbeing, and ease within a metropolitan setting. Designed to support independent living, the development brings together high-quality homes with a rich mix of shared amenities that encourage social engagement and everyday activity.

Set within an urban greenfield site, the masterplan integrates wellness facilities, hospitality, transport connections, and sporting and recreational amenities, forming a self-sufficient neighbourhood anchored by a suburban metropolitan centre. Generous landscaped spaces and walkable connections reinforce a strong sense of community while maintaining privacy and autonomy for residents.

The site carries a deep industrial and cultural legacy. Once home to bustling brickworks and iconic manufacturers such as Amalgamated Brick and Crown Lynn, this land played a formative role in shaping Auckland’s built environment. That history is woven into the design through public artworks and place names, ensuring the character and artistry of the past continues to inform a new chapter of communal living.
