Stage 1 of Jardin in Frenchs Forest has sold out, and Stage 2 is now selling. Jardin is Platino Properties' first over 55's development. It received the 2024 Development Excellence Urban Taskforce Award as Highly Commended Seniors Living Development and is recognised for its considered design, strong sense of community and resident-led approach. Stage 2 adds new, beautifully designed apartments and enhanced shared spaces that build on everything residents already love about Jardin.

Jardin is a thoughtfully designed, strata-titled over 55's community for people who want to downsize without giving up independence, ownership or control. It combines the safety, security and social side of a retirement village with the independence, privacy and financial freedom of a residential apartment. Owners hold their own title, keep all capital growth, and pay no deferred management fee (DMF), exit fees or additional upfront fees. Instead they pay strata fees plus a selection of user-pays services.

The apartments have house-like proportions designed for downsizers who want to keep their space. Features include abundant natural light, generous kitchens, flexible wintergardens, spacious balconies, wide doorways and hallways, and high-performance glazing that improves comfort, reduces noise and helps lower energy costs. Longevity by Design means the apartments can adapt as residents' needs change.

Resident-only facilities include landscaped gardens, a residents' lounge, a library, a BBQ terrace and village green, an indoor pool, a gym and wellness area, a cinema, a men's shed, a craft room, a communal garden and a rooftop terrace with an urban farm. There is also a commercial and retail precinct on the ground and lower ground levels. Sustainability features include provisions for electric vehicle charging, solar power for communal areas, passive design, rainwater harvesting and drought-resistant landscaping.

"When I first discovered Platino and Jardin, I was immediately struck by the quality and thoughtfulness of the design," said L. Quinn, a Stage 2 purchaser. "What truly set Platino apart for me was the sense of community. When friends visit, they can instantly see why I chose Jardin. It is a place that simply feels right."

Nestled among established greenery, Jardin looks out across Ku-ring-gai bushland to the city. Public transport is at the entrance, with buses to Manly, Chatswood and the City. Northern Beaches Hospital and the Parkway Hotel are both less than 200 metres away, and Forestway Shopping Village is 850 metres away. The Northern Beaches, including Manly, Narrabeen and Pittwater, are a short drive away.
