Everill Orr Celebrates Opening of New Frampton Building

Recently MCNZ representatives joined key personnel involved in the redevelopment to celebrate the completion of the third stage of a five-stage development at Everill Orr Village.

The Everil Orr Village has been a prominent landmark in the Auckland suburb of Mount Albert for many decades, providing care and accommodation to the elderly. Over recent years the site has been undergoing a staged redevelopment to provide a modern, fit-for-purpose aged-care facility. 

The Frampton Building opened for Care residents at the beginning of August, and the first Independent Living resident moved in at the end of September 2023.

The extensive four level care facility offers 68 Care Units across three levels for assisted living. Amenities include a library, public and private dining areas that can be hired for family functions or special celebrations, activity rooms, a beauty salon, onsite laundry service and a theatre. Landscaping has been designed to enhance the development and enrich the environment. On the top level of the building, eight apartments designed for Independent Living include private balconies offering views across the Waitemata upper harbour and Waitakere Ranges.

The upcoming Stage 4 is a $40m project comprising 42 apartments for Independent Living. Construction will start in 2025. The final two stages are scheduled for completion in 2026 and 2028.
