| 109 Bellevue Retirement Village: Stage 2 Boutique cinema part of new extension Residents enjoy the large landscaped grounds at The Bellevue in Papanui. LIFESTYLE Large, landscaped grounds are a beautiful part of life for residents at The Bellevue situated in the heart of leafy Papanui. This Oceania village is a premium option for retirement living and aged care, where staged redevelopment is delivering a superb standard of care and connection. Already completed is an integrated apartment and aged care complex that includes independent living apartments, care suites and a care centre with lounges, a library, activities space and a centralised common lounge and dining area with restaurant. A further second stage extension, now underway, will add two more luxury apartment blocks linked on the ground floor with a spacious social area. Predominantly two-storey, this new extension includes a centralised three-storey portion linked to the existing building. Local architects Foley Group have delivered a stunning design, with Armitage Williams Construction progressing well on-site. The two new blocks are due to be completed by March 2023. The latest extension represents a further quality of life enhancement for residents, providing additional lounge spaces, a feature fireplace and purpose-designed boutique cinema. Generously glazed, the communal ground floor lounge makes the most of the tranquil garden views and provides access to outdoor dining areas, residents’ workshop and raised garden beds, pergolas and water features. “From open spaces to more private options, the wide variety of facilities, activities and spaces mean that our residents can socialise in a way that works for them,” says Andrew Buckingham, Group General Manager Property & Development. “Every home is designed around the core principle of connection because we believe that staying social is essential for optimal human health and a happy life.” In keeping with the first stage development, the latest new apartments feature a mix of hipped and gable roof forms and tasteful exterior cladding. Each apartment has its own private patio or balcony area. Sliding glazed screens provide protection from the weather. “Alongside our residents, we’re redefining what it means to live in a village, using innovation to enhance the retirement and aged care experience.” says Belinda Kropach, National Sales Manager. Adding to the existing car park area for residents’ use, an additional car port facility is also being added as part of the second stage development. Oceania is a leading provider of premium healthcare services in New Zealand, with over 40 locations across the country. The experienced, award winning company is an acknowledged frontrunner in innovation, food and nutrition, staff training and community engagement. “To deliver a retirement and aged care experience that is exclusive for our residents, we don’t take a ‘one size fits all’ approach to our Villages,” explains Wilson Pickering, Project Manager. “That’s why we keep our Villages boutique, with careful consideration given to the region and community they are a part of, and a unique design that centres around fostering connections and a tight-knit community.” The Bellevue embodies Oceania’s considered approach. This village is a pleasure to view with attractive landscaped grounds that include established specimen trees providing all year-round colour and texture. Village buildings present a pleasing blend of brickwork, weatherboard and rendered plaster. Shared services and facilities include the Main Street Café & Shop, hair salon, physio and podiatrist. On the doorstep is an array of shops and restaurants, with Northlands Shopping Centre just a short drive away.
