Bellburra, the new premium independent living addition to Allambie Heights Village on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, has officially welcomed its first residents this week as the development reaches near full occupancy.
Designed For Independent Living And Connection
Approved in 2022 and now complete, the 24-apartment Bellburra building sits beside Allambie Heights Village and the Martin Luther Hostel aged care facility. It forms an integrated living environment for over-55s planning to age in place.
Only three apartments remain available after strong demand from downsizers seeking space, privacy and secure community living. The development involved Allambie Heights Village Ltd, architect Jackson Teece and builder Richard Crookes Constructions. Bellburra focuses on wellbeing, accessibility and social connection.
Apartments offer three-bedroom layouts, lift access and wide internal pathways for easy mobility, supporting move-ins now underway. Communal facilities include a resident clubhouse, sauna and spa, with bushland views and outlooks toward the city and Blue Mountains.
Strong Community Interest And High Pre-Sales
Eighty-eight percent of apartments were secured before completion. This reflects strong confidence from local residents familiar with Allambie Heights Village, which has operated since 1966.
The continuity of services and the co-location with aged care next door have fuelled community uptake, offering residents future care pathways without needing to relocate outside the suburb.
Smooth Move-In Process Underway
Residents began moving into Bellburra this week, and the operator has reported that the process has been smooth due to the intentional layout design. Most residents are expected to move in over the next fortnight.
The development is described as a major step to expand the existing community, not create an isolated village. It reinforces Allambie Heights as a long-term residential option for older Australians who want to stay independent without leaving their local area.
Limited Availability Still Remaining
With only three apartments left, Allambie Heights Village is encouraging final enquiries from interested buyers who want to remain on the Northern Beaches while moving into a lower-maintenance environment.
Experts expect demand to stay strong, as Bellburra transitions from a construction project into an active, lived-in residential community.
