As we age, it’s no secret that our priorities change. You’ll have fond memories of your big family home that was once filled with your siblings’ loud laughter and even louder footsteps. As you’ve all moved out and had your own families, your parents have been left with a lot empty space to upkeep and maintain. It might be time to consider packing their bags and sending them on a permanent holiday, where they can enjoy luxury living in an over 55s development in Greenwich with resort-style facilities and breathtaking views.
Akoya Greenwich has set a new benchmark in apartment living on Sydney’s leafy Lower North Shore. There are some perks that come with growing older, many of which your parents will find in this small boutique development that’s exclusive to over 55s. The project is being developed by Alceon Group and construction is currently underway, set for completion in late 2022/early 2023.
Residents can settle back and soak up panoramic views of the Sydney skyline, take a dip in the heated infinity pool, warm up at one of the fire pits, and enjoy a bite at the on-site cafe. And of course, they can make use of the many five-star facilities. The club lounge includes a 10-seat cinema, virtual golf driving range, library, bar and private dining area and private wine cellars.
About Greenwich
Greenwich is perhaps the Lower North Shore’s best-kept secret (that offers so much!). It is located just five minutes from St Leonards and 10 minutes from Crows Nest with the new Metro train station arriving in 2024.
This convenient location still manages to maintain a village feel with the Greenwich Baths and many harbourside walks around the Greenwich, Waverton & Balls Head Reserve area. There’s also a new retail hub adjacent to St Leonard’s Station which will include 30,000 m² of retail, restaurants and supermarkets and house a new library and Park area.
