The Gardenia, Hauraki, Fernlea and Endeavour Apartments are the newest additions to Northbridge Retirement Village's luxury apartment building stock.  Although designed and consented together, the construction of the 3-storey Fernlea and Endeavour began first and they were completed in 2020, closely followed by the 5-storey Gardenia and Hauraki being completed in 2022.

With these buildings Klein continued to apply its human-centric design philosophy, which sits comfortably alongside Northbridge Lifecare Trust's 'care for life' principle.  Each unit is generous and ergonomic in its layout and has dual or even triple aspects to optimise views and connection to the surrounding green environment.  The common breezeway concept encourages natural cross ventilation, minimising the need for air-conditioning during those balmy summer months.

These buildings are nestled amongst well-established and beautifully maintained planting.  Along Akoranga Drive, dense shrubs, hedges and trees line the road frontage; on the village-facing side, lush green lawns and the famed beautiful Northbridge garden-walk lead one to the Kowhai Day Pavilion - a communal event space also designed by Klein.
