Latest developments. By KATHRYN WELLING Interest in Jardin grows as over-55s plan their next move You know an area is changing when a major developer moves in and starts building luxury apartments. Such is the case in Frenchs Forest where an award-winning Sydney developer has just launched two buildings of spacious apartments for people over 55. Platino Properties has delivered more than 2000 apartments across Sydney but has never before built on the Northern Beaches. Platino Properties is bringing more than 50 high-end apartments into Frenchs Forest just 200 metres from the Northern Beaches Hospital. Jardin, in Skyline Place, is being sold off-the-plan and offers strata apartments to downsizers. There are one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with an emphasis on outdoor living, gardens and agile community spaces. The development has clearly hit a chord with the locals already. Within two weeks of being launched more than 20 per cent of the 55 apartments have sold. They are due to be completed in 2022. George Revay, CEO of Platino Properties, chose Frenchs Forest for its growth and accessibility. “It’s a seachange and a treechange all rolled into one, and yet the Sydney CBD is just half an hour away. The location couldn’t be better,” he told Dwell. Research indicated that older buyers value space over the number of bedrooms but they also want to live with likeminded people and they are nervous of living in an apartment block with holiday rentals and overcrowded units full of young people, Mr Revay added. So Jardin apartments are much larger than the standard 75 square metres, many have wintergardens and some have great north-facing views and ocean views. And instead of a residents’ lounge with set space Jardin will have flexible common areas. Frenchs Forest was settled in the 1960s and there are still early settlers keen to stay in the area but who don’t want to maintain a large home or garden. “Our creative studio can be used for any creative interest… our theatre isn’t just a theatre and our wellness studio isn’t just for gym equipment,” Mr Revay said. The ground floor of the development is proposed to have an over- 50s gym, a café and office spaces. Expansive common green spaces are designed to allow residents and the community to connect. Mr Revay said that older residents liked to be secure but they didn’t want to be cut off from society and live in an enclave. Platino Properties was looking to introduce examples of intergenerational living that had proved successful in Europe. The strata model means there are no upfront or exit fees and purchasers keep any capital gains on the unit plus they control who runs the development through the strata committee. “These are things you can’t get in a retirement community,” Mr Revay said. “We’ve taken the best of retirement communities and residential apartment living to offer residents the best of both worlds,” he added. Frenchs Forest was settled in the 1960s and there are still early settlers keen to stay in the area but who don’t want to maintain a large family home and garden. More than half of the households in Frenchs Forest have residents who are 55 years old or older. The median house price in Frenchs Forest is $1,615,000, according to CoreLogic RP Data. Prices for the Jardin apartments start at $680,000 for the one-bedroom units, $1.1 million for the two-bedders, and $1.15 million for units with two bedrooms and a study. The three-bedroom units start at $1.325 million and the penthouses range between $1.7 million and $1.905 million. A sales hub for Jardin is within the Glenrose Shopping Village, Glen Street, Belrose; or readers can call 8968 1950 for details. 34 September 19, 2020 <strong>dwell</strong>.sydney
