Highwood on top at Adanac Park care home in Southampton
Highwood has joined long-term partner, Hamberley Development, to mark the highest point of the build at our best-in-class, 80-bed care home at Adanac Park, Nursling, on the outskirts of Southampton.
Construction on the luxury Hamberley Care Home began in autumn 2022 and is scheduled for completion in 2024. When complete, the city’s most prestigious later years care home will provide superb, highly-specified living accommodation with extensive communal areas and spaces for wellness, family and activities, all set in landscaped grounds.
The new care home is set adjacent to the state-of-the-art neuro rehab facility that Highwood is building for Hamberley Development and Hamberley Neurocare. With 57 en suite bedrooms, the specialist healthcare centre is one of two currently under development with Highwood and will deliver world-class neurological rehabilitation services for the region when it opens next summer.
“It’s great to be topping out at Adanac Park right on schedule,” said Mark Baskerville, Highwood CEO. “Our site team has been at the mercy of some atrocious weather conditions in recent weeks, but they’ve done a remarkable job of coordinating with Hamberley’s team and the supply chain to remain on track. Considering this is a site where we have two substantial, simultaneous builds taking place, what we’re achieving is really testament to the power of effective project management.”
