Quadrant Gardens, for Corevest, is a luxury urban retirement development in Cape Town, comprising 74 apartments over six stories arranged around a landscaped courtyard. The design approach for this project was to provide high quality accommodation to enable residents to enjoy their golden years in a well-designed environment supported by the necessary social, medical and leisure facilities on site. This is the fourth phase of the Quadrant Precinct and it is separated into three distinct blocks.

A bold facebrick cube marks the entrance with a slender steel entrance canopy and clerestory glazing. The remaining two blocks complement the existing phases in terms of colours and façade finishes. The design incorporates level changes to create a high ceiling and spacious entrance level. Apartments overlooking the courtyard are elevated by 1.5 metres for greater privacy. A split-level entrance ramp ensures easy access to the main entrance podium and structured parking below.

Recreational facilities include an entrance-level library, lounge and serviced dining area with large sliding doors seamlessly connecting these facilities with the courtyard. A rooftop glasshouse, croquet lawn and planting complete the shared facilities. The development includes a21-bed frail-care facility where medical staff are on call 24/7. This facility also features a dedicated lounge and dining area. All apartments have panic buttons and intercom access to a central nursing station.
