Sales appointments have opened for The Aurelian by Bolton Clarke, a boutique retirement living community in Brisbane’s riverside suburb of New Farm.
The development comprises 40 two- and three-bedroom apartments priced from $1.83m.
Bolton Clarke chief development and property officer James Mantis said it represented a significant investment in contemporary, future-focused housing designed to support independence, wellbeing and connection.
“The Aurelian has been purpose-designed for people seeking a high-quality lifestyle in a location they know and love,” he said.
“The development responds to growing demand from downsizers who want to remain close to family, friends, culture and community while enjoying the confidence and convenience that comes with retirement living.
The Aurelian by Bolton Clarke is a boutique retirement living community in New Farm.
“The project has been carefully conceived to reflect the character of New Farm, one of Brisbane’s most established and sought-after inner-city suburbs.
“Residents will be within walking distance of cafes, restaurants, galleries, parklands and riverside attractions, providing a highly connected and active lifestyle.”
Mr Mantis said the development was created in response to changing community expectations around ageing and retirement living.
“People today are looking for greater flexibility, independence and choice as they get older,” he said.
“We identified a growing need for premium living options that allow people to age in place while staying connected to the lifestyle, neighbourhood and community they value.
“The Aurelian offers a rare opportunity to enjoy an exceptional lifestyle in one of Brisbane’s most vibrant and walkable suburbs, while also having access to Bolton Clarke’s trusted health and care services if they are ever needed.”
Apartments at The Aurelian by Bolton Clarke are priced from $1.83m.
A focus on wellness and social connection sits at the heart of the development. Residents will have access to amenities including a heated magnesium pool, sauna, steam room and spa, a private fitness centre and a movement studio designed for activities such as yoga, pilates and fitness classes.
There will also be a private rooftop terrace, resident lounge and bar, wine cellar, communal kitchen, barbecue facilities and herb and vegetable gardens.
“Together, these spaces are intended to support both everyday interactions and special occasions, encouraging residents to remain active, engaged and socially connected,” Mr Mantis said.
“Unlike traditional retirement living models, The Aurelian has been positioned to compete with premium residential apartment developments, combining sophisticated design and lifestyle amenities with the reassurance that support is available as needs change over time. The community has been designed specifically for later-life living, without compromising on style, independence or quality. The project also reflects a broader shift in the retirement living sector towards developments that prioritise wellbeing, lifestyle and ageing positively.
Facilities at The Aurelian by Bolton Clarke include a pool.
“As Australia’s largest independent not-for-profit provider dedicated to positive ageing, Bolton Clarke has drawn on more than 140 years of experience to create a community that supports residents to live confidently and independently for longer.
“Taking its name from the Latin word aurelius, meaning golden, The Aurelian reflects ideas of enduring value, excellence and living well. For Bolton Clarke, it represents not only a new chapter for the site, but a vision for the future of retirement living in Queensland.”
