JARDON GROUP TO BUILD LUXURY CLUB REDSTONE
The Jardon Group has been appointed to build a luxury $16.5 million residents’ club at Villawood Properties’ Redstone community in Sunbury.
Construction on the exclusive ClarkeHopkinsClarke-designed lifestyle facility, is due to get under way in March with the club expected to open mid-2026.
The resort-style project will provide high-end features including:
– Undercover lap pool
– Outdoor plunge pool
– Kiddies’ splash deck
– Fully-equipped gym
– Boutique café/restaurant
– Parents’ lounge overlooking a secure play space
– Stylish function room for private and community events
– Independent childcare centre open to public
Villawood is renowned for its residents’ clubs, which provide crucial social and lifestyle infrastructure in the early stages of its masterplanned projects.
The developer has built delivered nine clubs to date with five new clubs, including Redstone, on the way. The Jardon Group is presently completing a $14 million club at Villawood’s Alamora community in Tarneit.
Villawood’s Club Rathdowne at nearby Wollert received a prestigious Great Place Award from the Urban Development Institute of Australia in 2022.
“We have people who come to live here from all different places,” says Villawood CEO Alan Miller. “They don’t know who their neighbours are going to be. They want to meet new people and make new friends.
“How do you meet each other? We try to provide them with a melting pot of activity. Club Redstone will have a cafe, a parents’ lounge where they can bring their kids and meet up and still see what their kids are doing in the pool, the playground.
“For those who want a bit more fitness, we’ve got a fantastic gym. Plus, we have a function room where there will be lots of kids’ birthdays, twenty-firsts.
“We even have weddings in our residents’ clubs. The club is a great spot. People can all just meet up with each other.”
With cafes, top-line gyms, pools and wet decks, multi-sport courts, function venues, family facilities and barbecues, the clubs are magnetic drawcards for newcomers.
The clubs also stage events, provide a range of programs and classes, and in short become the new suburb’s social and community hub – years before any similar infrastructure might be provided by government.
After they are fully established, the clubs are gifted to residents to run themselves through an owners’ corporation.
