Work has recommenced on the stalled Serene Living project at Tweed Heads following the recent purchase by new developers THRV Pty Ltd. The last month has seen the site cleaned up, sheet piling and existing slabs surveyed, the reinforcing steel sand blasted and the site accommodation re-established in preparation for an April 2nd start.
Although the project will be rebranded the existing design has been retained along with the original design team who, have gone to great lengths to ensure that the future residents have the very best facilities and appointments to make living at the resort one endless holiday. The complex boasts a secure basement car park for 68 cars plus visitor and disabled spaces. The building comprises 77 spacious apartments with one + study, two and three bedroom ensuite apartments with generous balconies. The internal finishes are at the top of the range with 2 pac finished kitchens, Caesar stone tops and Fisher & Paykel appliances. The ground floor also provides the residents with such facilities as a gymnasium, lounge, games area, library, cinema, and kiosk/ bar as well as nurse and doctor rooms.
Although not officially targeting a green star rating the designers have incorporated a number of green star initiatives into the project that will benefit the health and longevity of the residents and the building itself, not least of which is the 1300m2 roof top garden areas. This area is designed to be a communal meeting area and working garden where the residents can engage in the upkeep as well as tend their own herb and vegetable beds. The roof top has generous grassed areas and shaded pergolas to encourage all residents to use and enjoy this facility.
Glenzeil fully expects, that after an initial build up period, the project will bounce back to full pace and is forecasting a completion date of April 2014.
