The proposed development for Metlifecare is situated on a 3.1 hectare greenfield site adjacent to the Northern Motorway and the Albany bus station. Throughout the design process, interest in mixed use typologies within units became significant; catering for a variety of users ranging from students to small families and the elderly. [Including the recently retired and those requiring full time care]. This approach would break the norm of a typical retirement village scheme - including additional communal facilities and the potential for retail and hospitality venues throughout.
