The New Zealand Commercial Project Awards are this Friday night in Auckland, and we’re all really delighted that one of our major projects – Russley Retirement Village – is one of the finalists in the highly contested Residential Project section.
Partner Darryn Crawford has been involved with the new Russley Retirement Village from very early in the project. His involvement spans over a decade now and began well before he formed Focus. The Focus team have been involved for three years now, so this is project which is very important to us all.
The Award is for the Russley Village Homestead, one of the most recently completed buildings in this extensive development. This is a multi-purpose building for residents which sets new standards for design and luxury retirement village living.
The building has areas purpose-built for entertainment and socialising, including a boutique cinema with tiered seats, a café, and brasserie. There is also a library, study, computer area, an arts and crafts space, hair salon and wellness rooms for health professionals.
Focus are currently involved with the final stage of the Russley Village, which will be a 36-bed hospital and additional independent living units.
