Brookland Retirement Living

Located in the well-connected suburb of Robertson, Brookland is a thriving retirement community with a strong focus on connection, wellbeing, and lifestyle. This development marks FDC’s second successful retirement living project in partnership with Greenfort Capital and Reside Communities, and celebrates the completion of the 2 staged Brookland masterplan.

FDC was engaged under a Design & Construct (D&C) contract to deliver the project in two carefully planned stages:

Stage 1 included the construction of a new three-storey independent living building with two levels of basement parking, seamlessly integrated within the existing village. The building houses 39 high-quality apartments (ranging from one to three bedrooms) and expansive communal facilities, including:

A clubhouse with a commercial kitchen, modern bar, and lounge
An exclusive on-site health club featuring a gym, swimming pool, and hair and beauty salon
A total built area of approximately 9,150m²

This phase also required the careful relocation of existing services and partial demolition of existing independent living units, undertaken with minimal disruption to residents.

Stage 2, now complete, comprised the construction of a new six-storey residential building containing 53 premium apartments, along with:

Two basement levels for secure parking
High-end communal amenities including a cinema, library, and outdoor entertainment areas
Extensive landscaping throughout the precinct
Demolition of the former community centre to enable the new works

By delivering the project in two stages, FDC ensured that the community centre remained operational during construction, preserving vital resident services. Extensive stakeholder consultation was undertaken throughout the project, with ongoing communication between FDC, the Village Manager, and residents to maintain transparency and minimise disruption.
