Denmac Nominees is currently waiting for approval to build a 12-storey retirement village and aged care development which will comprise of 98 aged care rooms and 79 independent living units across 19,159sqm in Windsor, 3km north of Brisbane’s CBD.

Designed by ThomsonAdsett, Denman says their “ageing in place solution” will see residential care facilities located alongside the retirement village in separate wings with retail, café, outdoor landscaped areas and ground floor health care services also on site.

The development is the amalgamation of 193 and 195 Lutwyche Street and 10 Lyons Street – the latter being purchased in 2015 for $1.5million.

Despite Brisbane Council recently scaling back some of its incentives for aged care developers, the city is still seeing a surge of new development including Aura Holdings launching the second stage of its Kingsford Terrace village; and Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland (ECCQ) announcing plans to demolish and rebuild its 115-bed Berlasco Court Caring Centre, built in 1988, in Indooroopilly, 7km west of the CBD.

Other aged care development in the Sunshine State includes Japara's $30 million aged-care facility in Robina and Aveo’s recently approved 16 storey retirement tower on the Gold Coast.
