Welcome to Jardin
Discover a new form of living for over 55's
Jardin is a thoughtfully designed, strata-titled over 55s community in Frenchs Forest, created for those who want to downsize without giving up independence, ownership or control.
Spaces Designed to Connect
Enjoy a range of communal facilities designed to bring people together while still offering privacy and independence, including landscaped gardens, a residents’ lounge, library, BBQ terrace and village green.
An Award-Winning Community
Jardin is already award-winning, recognised for its considered design, strong sense of community and resident-led approach.
Now, with Stage 2 underway, the community is growing. New beautifully designed apartments and enhanced shared spaces will build on everything residents already love about Jardin.

"From the moment I walked in, it just felt right."
L. Quinn - Stage 2 Purchaser
"When I first discovered Platino and Jardin, I was immediately struck by the quality and thoughtfulness of the design. I had been looking for a home where I would feel comfortable as I aged, somewhere easy to live in, well located, and designed with care. From the generous apartment sizes and well considered layouts to the quality finishes and on site facilities, everything aligned with the lifestyle I was looking for.
What truly set Platino apart for me was the sense of community. From the very beginning, there was a genuine warmth in the way I was welcomed, with opportunities to meet other buyers and feel connected. When friends visit, they can instantly see why I chose Jardin. It is a place that simply feels right."
