Esprit de vie Mermaid Waters 

Mermaid Waters, Gold Coast, Australia

Mermaid Waters I marks a key milestone in delivering Sunland Group’s masterplan for “The Lakes.” It offers a fully integrated retirement living and aged care community. Positioned in the precinct’s southwest corner, the development links smoothly with nearby residential and commercial areas. This enhances livability and access to essential services.

The architectural vision blends macro-scale views and subtropical design with micro-scale person-centered principles—creating a secure and vibrant environment. Communal areas encourage intergenerational interaction, wellness, and social engagement, while a rooftop permaculture garden supports resident activity.

The majority of units meet Gold LHA standards, with a mix of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, penthouses, and a Care Hub. Mermaid Waters I offers a balance of contemporary design with soft and homely components creating a lifestyle community for ageing in place. The design for the building façade responds to and integrates the external landscaping, offering timeless, legible, and welcoming spaces.
