Aspiring Lifestyle Retirement Village (ALRV) is in Wanaka, a special part of New Zealand with the striking mountains and lake surrounding the township. Through the facilities and its location, the retirement village provides an opportunity for residents to enjoy a lifestyle that many people only experience when they are on holiday. Over the past 10 years, since the first residents moved in, the village has been developed to include a Lifestyle Centre, 16 independent living apartments and 124 free standing and duplex villas.
To compliment their existing facilities ALRV appointed Envision in late 2020 to provide project and design manage services for a new single level purpose built 2,500m2 facility which will provide 24 one and two bedroom serviced apartments and associated communal facilities. The development will allow residents to live independently with a full kitchen and laundry within each apartment but will also be capable of providing full level care to residents if required. Envision has been involved in the RFP process for the selection of each of the consultants and is currently managing the design phase ahead of the submission of the resource and building consent applications to QLDC.
Construction commenced in March 2022 with completion due in the 2nd quarter of 2023.
