Halcyon Greens Over 50s Community Offers Homes Around A Golf Course

A COMMUNITY designed especially for residents over 50 is springing to life in the Coast’s northern corridor of Pimpama.

The $300 million community, Halcyon Greens is being designed by the same planner behind Sanctuary Cove, Brian Toyota from ML Design.

Like Sanctuary Cove, Halcyon Greens plans to integrate homes around a golf course and leisure and lifestyle amenities.

The Halcyon Greens project is located on a 114 ha site which adjoins an existing 18-hole golf course at Mirvac’s established Gainsborough Greens development.

Mr Toyota said a lot had changed since the mid-1980s but creating a lifestyle remained at the core of the masterplanned community concept.

“Over 50s residential communities, with central clubhouses are one example of a new development model suited to today’s demographics; developments that are designed to offer ‘lifestyle’,” he said.

Mr Toyota said the ML Design team realised the significance of the Halcyon Greens project when they saw the size of the site and the potential scale of development.

“This was not only a pristine setting surrounded by golf course and nature reserves, it was a much larger property: more than twice the size of previous Halcyon developments,” he said.

“In property development, larger does not necessarily mean better.

“The challenge was to create a plan that took advantage of the positive aspects of a large site by providing more amenities for homeowners, while retaining the ‘Halcyon family’ feel for the development.

“We wanted every householder at Halcyon Greens to appreciate the proximity to those things that made the site special: the golf course and nature reserve that defines the perimeter of the site.”
