Oasis Sold Out!

The Oasis Luxury Retirement Resort in Century City has proved to be a runaway success with all 375 apartments in the six high rise blocks having been sold six months ahead of the last block being completed.

 

Colin Green of Rabie, which has been developing Oasis in a joint venture with a Harries Projects consortium, said there was no doubt that much of  Oasis’ success was due to the fact that it falls within the Century City mixed use development offering residents almost every conceivable amenity right on their doorstep.

 

“It also offers a wide range of its own lifestyle components for residents including a Club House, the facilities of which would not be out of place in a five star hotel and which all residents automatically enjoy membership of.’’

 

These facilities include a 25m indoor heated pool where regular water aerobics classes are given by a qualified teacher, a massage room, sauna, steam room, a gym, a library, lounge areas, a restaurant, bar, a bridge room and billiard room.

 

In addition, there are a number of other facilities for residents outside the Clubhouse including a large, multi-function venue with a big screen TV and coffee bar and large undercover patio overlooking a scenic lake, an arts studio where residents can paint as well as another well-appointed lounge where residents can relax.

 

A range of activities and functions to cater for different interest groups are also held regularly and regular outings to wine farms, the theatre and the like are laid on. The resort is set  in beautifully landscaped gardens which also include a flowing stream and water features and even a vegetable garden where residents can grow their own vegetables and herbs.

 

Peace of mind for residents is also provided by the Oasis Care Centre which offers hotel-style assisted living apartments, frail care and a specialised Alzheimer’s/Dementia unit as well as physical rehabilitation for those in need.

 

Green said due to the huge success of Oasis and the continued demand for retirement homes in Century City, they were exploring including a retirement product in the redevelopment of the Ratanga site which they hoped to bring to the market late 2018 early 2019.

Final apartment block in Oasis Retirement Resort now launching

Palme Vue, the sixth and final block of apartments in the Oasis Luxury Retirement Resort at Century City, will be launched on 11 May at the Oasis Club.

The 11-storey building comprising 42 one, two and three bedroom apartments is being developed in a joint venture by the Rabie Property Group and a Harries Projects consortium at a cost of R270 million.

It follows the success of Palm Brook, the fifth block in the resort currently under construction where 44 of the 52 apartments have been sold seven months ahead of completion.

Rabie director Colin Green said Palme Vue would comprise fewer but on average larger apartments than what had been offered in previous blocks to meet strong demand for even more spacious units.

Apartments, which range in size from 94 square metres to 247 square metres, including terraces, are priced from R3, 4 million to R9 950 000, VAT inclusive. No transfer duty is payable.

There are three penthouses and two garden apartments, the latter of which will have exclusive use areas fronting on to a large expanse of water and the magnificently landscaped communal gardens. All the apartments have terraces or balconies ranging in size from 19 square metres to 77 square metres.

All apartments will have luxury finishes and a minimum of one basement parking. Many will also have a second bay and a storeroom included in the price.

As with the three most recent blocks (Palme d’Or, Palm Royale and Palm Brook), Palme Vue will be linked to the extensive Oasis Club facilities by an undercover passage. A satellite recreational room is also planned to add to the communal facilities for Oasis residents and their guests in the new garden court.

Palme Vue will be served by two lifts and have a 24-hour dedicated concierge at the entrance lobby.

Construction is due to start in May / June this year with transfer anticipated in the third quarter of 2018.

Colin Green, a director of Rabie, said that as they were now nearing the end of the development phase of Oasis Retirement Resort, pre-launch interest in the last block had been very strong as people realise that this is their last opportunity to acquire a luxury apartment directly from the developer.

“In fact we have more potential buyers on the waiting list than we have apartments available so we are expecting sales to be brisk,” said Green.

The resort includes a magnificent club house which is currently being extended and which boasts among other things a restaurant and bar, a 25m indoor heated pool,  a massage room, sauna, steam room, gym, a library, lounge areas, a bridge room, billiard room, an art studio and an additional multi-purpose recreational/entertainment venue with a coffee bar and a covered patio overlooking a picturesque pond and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Also completed in phase one is the 110 bed Oasis Care Centre which offers hotel-style assisted living apartments, frail care and a specialised Alzheimer’s/Dementia unit as well as physical rehabilitation. Currently under construction is the Oasis Medical Support Centre which will provide homecare staff and administration facilities as well as a doctors’ surgery and as such will significantly expand the level of care services on offer at Oasis.

Green said besides all the exceptional facilities provided at Oasis, its location in Century City which is also home to other world class amenities including Intaka Island wetlands reserve,  Canal Walk Shopping Centre and the MyCiTi bus service, all added to its appeal as did the well managed precinct’s high quality of safety and security and modern infrastructure.

Palme Vue will be launched at a function at the Oasis Club on May 11. To secure an invitation to the launch and to be added to the waiting list, phone Cindy on 082 4957168; Lorenda on 0832704755 or Linda on 0827856160 or visit the website www.oasisretirementresort.co.za

Major upgrade for Oasis Care Centre

The Oasis Care Centre, which forms part of the Oasis Luxury Retirement Resort at Century City where a third apartment block has just been completed and is more than 90% sold, has undergone a multi-million rand upgrade to further enhance its five-star facilities.

The Care Centre offers hotel-style assisted living, long-term frail care, physical rehabilitation and a specialised Alzheimer’s/Dementia unit.

Care Centre Manager Lizzie Brill says the upgrade includes new lounge and dining facilities which open onto a landscaped internal courtyard for their long-term frail care residents.

“This will enable the ground floor section of the Oasis Care Centre to operate along more clearly defined lines between the two main categories of care it offers, namely short-term physical rehabilitation on the one hand and long term frail care on the other.”

The Physical Rehabilitation unit, she says, provides treatment to members of the broader public as well as residents in the resort.

“It is offered predominantly to patients covered by Medical Aids for post-operative recovery and rehabilitation, such as after hip and knee replacement as well as for recovery and rehabilitation from strokes and other medical trauma.

“Patients all have single private rooms with a TV bouquet and en suite toilets and are treated by an in-house doctor as well as a multi-disciplinary team of therapists covering a broad spectrum of physical rehabilitation.”

The upgrade allows for separate dining and lounge areas as well as a sun room for the Physical Rehabilitation patients. In addition a large new reception and admin area is being provided on the ground floor.

Brill said these new facilities were being completed on a phased basis with all work due for completion by end July.

The Oasis Care Centre is one of the first facilities in the Western Cape to obtain an Adult Mental Health licence for its Alzheimer’s/Dementia wing, and is a leader in its field.

Work completed to date also includes the conversion of under-utilised space on the first floor into a large and bright new lounge area for the Alzheimer’s/Dementia wing which is able to accommodate up to 40 residents as well as carers and friends and family of patients. This wing now takes up the entire first floor.

“We have had wonderful response from residents and family members to the beautiful furnishing designed and co-ordinated by Sandi Kiss of Fine Linen Interiors The magnificent new facilities will enable us to carry out our mission to offer the best possible care while we ensure that each resident or patient enjoys his or her life to the fullest potential in a 5-star luxury environment,” says Brill.

She added that the Care Centre also offers modern attractive Assisted Living rooms and suites where residents can lead more independent lifestyles but still have plenty of daily back up and care by a dedicated team should they need.
