Hyecorp property group commences construction of Club Willoughby redevelopment with a groundbreaking ceremony. The $95 million project will see the 52-year-old building turned into a new state-of-the-art Club Willoughby along with a luxury retirement living facility.
Approved in February 2021, the “Heart of Willoughby” project’s groundbreaking ceremony was officiated by Member of Willoughby, Tim James. A modern Club Willoughby will replace the old building along with a 126-apartment luxury retirement community and aged care living facility, called Hyegrove Willoughby. These will be complemented by 2,000 square metres of open space with memorial gardens.
The apartment building will comprise one, two and three-bedroom units and will offer concierge services, an on-site building manager as well as a range of daily activities, dining facilities, an indoor swimming pool, a gym/pilates studio and care.
Off-the-plan purchasers will have the option to custom design their apartment with add-ons including heated flooring, wallpaper, pendant lights and smart home automation systems.
Also, 45 luxury care suites will be set up as three small “homes” complete with kitchens, dining rooms and lounge areas.
“As people age and require more services and help, we can provide whatever they need whether it is having the heavy laundry done or meals delivered, that level of care can be dialed up or down. It’s about putting the control into their hands, a characteristic that is too often not available to people living in retirement communities or aged care facilities,” Managing Director of Hyecorp, Stephen Abolakian said.
Stage 1 is already sold out whilst Stage 2 is now selling. The construction of Hyegrove Willoughby is expected to be completed in late 2024.
