Description

Once a commercial office building, the adaptive reuse of the old Australian Unity head office into The Alba is set to establish a new benchmark in vertical aged care living.

Stage 2 of the Albert Retirement Living Community Precinct, The Alba, will offer residential aged care and assisted living apartments. Designed to provide a continuum of care for residents from The Grace, the Albert Park Retirement Living Precinct aims to support ageing in place.

Like The Grace, The Alba will allow local residents to remain within proximity to their families and familiar amenities. The residences are designed to be supported by ancillary services, such as a commercial kitchen, laundry, and allied services. Communal areas are strategically distributed across the vertical design of the tower to enable convenient and easy access for residents and carers. Assisted living apartments on the upper level will have a communal pavilion that will include a library, an art studio and an outdoor landscaped terrace with a community garden.

What's On

Join us for a guided walking tour and experience firsthand how vertical aged care living enhances the quality of life for its residents and supports ageing in place. Visitors will be able to view residential spaces and communal amenities and learn about the innovative adaptive-reuse approach used.
