New renders offer first look at Biarritz

The fourth and final tower at Odyssey Robina’s community is taking shape, with new architectural renders revealing a sneak peek into the lifestyle awaiting Gold Coast seniors. As reported by The Source, Biarritz was developed in consultation with residents and is set to deliver an additional 68 apartments to the community, with construction on the eight-storey building scheduled for completion later this year.

CEO and founder Phil Usher says Odyssey really listens to what residents and the market are asking for and adapt to their needs, steering clear of the ‘here’s what you get’ model.

“Apartments in the new stage will include a mix of one, two and three bedroom options as well as another Memory Lane section, which is a dedicated space for seniors requiring memory support,” says Mr Usher.

“Our market has been asking for more two bedroom and even three-bedroom options, and the new building, Biarritz, will offer both. We’ll be adding a lot more amenity in Biarritz to promote a greater variety of activities and build on our sense of community by expanding socialisation spaces.”

Building company Mettle has been appointed to construct the project, which is expected to create between 100 to 150 jobs over the estimated 18-month development period, which commenced 5 September 2024.

Amenities in Biarritz will include a larger activities hub, more visiting medical areas for doctors, physiotherapists and other allied health disciplines, a place of worship, movie area, hairdresser, gym, bocce green and outdoor sitting areas.

Mr Usher says Biarritz will connect with one of the existing towers, Malibu, via a semi enclosed skybridge.

“There are many skybridges across the community, which allow for easy above traffic travel across the buildings and friends can easily meet up without having to go far. Most skybridges have communal garden areas either end, so they have been similar to having a park at the end of the street where a socialisation is encouraged.”
