Architectus Conrad Gargett has delivered a new integrated vertical senior living development in Brisbane’s inner-city suburb of Newstead, taking retirement living and aged care to new heights, with community connection at the core.
The 16-storey and 21-storey dual tower development for Ozcare provides a continuum of care within one location, from retirement living within Rendu Towers to aged care and specialist dementia support in Villa Rosalie.
The development offers a diversity of choices for residents to adjust the level of care and support they need to optimise their later years.
Community-centred design
Spanning a 6,180 square meter block, the development features a café, retail tenancies, and commercial office spaces along with a large integrated public park – a key design move to connect with the adjacent Newstead River Park and draw the community into the development.
Rendu Towers – a vertical retirement village
Rendu Towers comprises a total of 135 residences, including 11 Sky Homes and three Sky Pavilions. A range of communal facilities across an interconnecting level unites the community of retirees, with Club Rendu featuring a heated swimming pool, club lounge, private dining room, library, cinema, chapel, and wellness centre.
Designed to embrace Brisbane’s subtropical climate and lifestyle, Rendu Towers features expansive liveable balconies and extensive landscaped terraces, providing residents with year-round access to the outdoors.
“It was one of the best decisions we have made… a complete lifestyle change for us both, it is a great location and everything we need is within walking distance.”

Villa Rosalie – Home-like Residential Aged Care
The 120-bed residential aged care facility, Villa Rosalie, spans three floors and includes an entire level dedicated to residents living with dementia.
The facility is designed to feel homely and familiar, with clinical support areas concealed. Level 4 features two large, landscaped terraces, offering a vital connection to the outdoors.
Many aged care rooms have private balconies with expansive river views, providing residents with additional accommodation choices.
Villa Rosalie also features a hair salon and day spa, large function and activity rooms, chapel, cinema, and multiple lounge spaces for residents and visiting family members to utilise.
The individual rooms incorporate a natural material palette and have home-like features, offering a level of independence and personalisation to help residents feel at home.
