Capacity at Cambridge Resthaven will continue to increase with plans set in motion for additional supported living apartments.
A memorandum of understanding was signed last week by Cambridge Resthaven and Livingstone Building for the stage two of Apartments on Vogel, at Resthaven’s Vogel Street retirement village.
It will add 21 supported living apartments to the 33 completed last year in the first stage. Stage two will lead into a green space in the centre of the apartment complex, linking it with the existing apartment building, café and village shop.
Time frames around the new build will likely be known by late next month.
Stage one, started in April 2022, was opened in mid-April last year. The 33 apartments were studio units and one and two-bedroom apartments.
Cambridge Resthaven chief executive David Hall said Livingstone had delivered the two major developments undertaken in the last decade.
“In 2014 they built our Views on Vogel 46-villa development, and last year they completed stage one of the Apartments on Vogel.”
Cambridge Resthaven is a community charitable trust established over 50 years ago to provide retirement living and care option for seniors. The supported living apartments are designed to provide residents with greater flexibility and choice in retirement living.
