Set within the leafy northern suburbs of Sydney, Greenwood was designed to offer residents a warm, aspirational place to live, one that blends the charm of an upper north shore manor house with the comfort and connection of contemporary aged care. With 5 unique neighbourhoods, each with its own lounge and dining area, residents experience a strong sense of community from the moment they arrive.

Thoughtfully planned communal spaces, including a salon, cinema and café, ensure daily life feels engaging, social and enriching for all who call Greenwood home, and this vision was realised through an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) contract that enabled our team, Allity and the consultant group to collaborate closely from the outset. Building on an established partnership across multiple Allity sites, the ECI process fostered open communication, efficient decision making and a shared understanding of project goals, ensuring the design, construction methodology and cost planning aligned seamlessly with Allity’s ambition for a high‑quality, 107‑bed flagship aged care home considered their premier residence nationally.

Built on a split-level site, the new build is separated across four-storeys and connects between 2 street frontages, enabling both public and service access. Construction required careful planning around several protected mature trees, which directly influenced design, sequencing and methodology. Two basement car parks for staff and visitors were constructed using Dincel wall systems paired with post-tensioned suspended slabs.

Designed to reflect a refined residential aesthetic, Greenwood features Bowral blue brickwork, rough-sawn Hawkesbury sandstone and an exceptionally high standard of joinery and interior finishes throughout. The entry level opens to a landscaped central courtyard anchored by preserved trees and outdoor gathering spaces, creating a tranquil heart for the community.

Accommodating 107 residents in spacious suites and one-bedroom layouts, many with private balconies or terraces, Greenwood also includes a dedicated dementia-care floor with its own secure garden. The result is a welcoming, elegant and thoughtfully designed home that supports dignity, comfort and connection for residents now and into the future.
