EVERIL ORR RETIREMENT VILLAGE

Airedale Property Trust is currently undertaking a full redevelopment of the existing Everil Orr Retirement Village in Mt Albert. Everil Orr Village has been a prominent landmark in Mt Albert for many years, providing care and accommodation to the elderly. It was agreed that the buildings in their current form no longer provided the best example of a modern aged care facility and were reaching the end of their economic life.

In conjunction with Oceania Group Ltd, Airedale Property Trust had a wish to continue the current land use and to continue to provide a service to the Mt Albert community through the provision of aged care. In order to do so, and to ensure the ongoing viability of the village, it was necessary for the site to be redeveloped to meet the needs of the market now and into the future.

The site will be redeveloped the site as follows:

• A new care facility offering accommodation for up to 90 patients
• A new retirement village offering 120 state of the art Independent Living Units(ILUs) under a Licence to Occupy arrangement
• Common amenities service facilities to support the care facility and apartments
• Extensive and comprehensive landscaping which enhances the overall development
• Roading and car parking to support the proposed development

Key elements of the design process have been:

• A focus on retention and enhancement of existing trees and landscaping
• A focus on the design of sustainable and energy-efficient buildings
• Minimising the impact of the buildings along street frontages and boundaries
• A focus on creating an integrated rather than an isolated community
