Summary
The family-owned operator of The Henry in Higgins, Canberra, has started construction on the fourth and last stage of the village, which will add 78 corner apartments due for completion in December 2027.
The stage includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, with three-bedroom units averaging 145sqm and penthouses reaching 165.5sqm. Once sold, the final release closes off residential development at the village, which will total 178 homes. Residents already access clubhouse, gym, library and home support services through The Butler, and the design was independently reviewed by the National Capital Design Review Panel. For aged care and retirement sector providers, this signals a finished development footprint and a shift in the local market for independent living options.
