Bernborough Ascot - Construction Progress


The first stage, Fig Tree House, was completed in 2023, with all 69 apartments selling out.

The second stage, Poinciana House, sold out in record time, marking the successful delivery of 53 luxury apartments alongside the grand opening of its resort-inspired leisure amenities and Wellness Centre. Residents can now enjoy an indoor heated magnesium pool, a fully equipped gym, and an infrared sauna—offering a range of wellness activities designed to promote a vibrant and fulfilling lifestyle.

A brand-new café overlooks the bowling green and seamlessly connects to the elegant Pavilion resident dining room, which adjoins the sophisticated Ascot Lounge. Additionally, an on-site hair salon and consultation rooms enhance the convenience of everyday living, making life here more effortless than ever before.

Construction has begun on stage three, Magnolia House - an architecturally refined residential offering an elevated collection of two and three-bedroom apartments, three premium penthouses, and a rooftop dining space with expansive views of Doomben Racecourse.

Progress: Poinciana just months from move-in

Construction Update January 2025

January 2025 – The new year is off to a flying start at Poinciana House, now just a few months away from welcoming its first residents. Trades have been busy across all floors, with services coming online and final touches and checks underway. 

On the ground floor, finishing trades are progressing with tiles, floor coverings, joinery and painting. Up on levels one to six it’s checking for any trade defects and making rectifications to ensure each home is ready for move-in day. 

Outside the focus has been on hardscaping and deck construction around our beautiful old fig tree. Excitingly, the scaffolding has all now been removed and the overall façade is 80% complete!

Progress: Apartments emerging at Poinciana

Construction Update October 2024

October 2024 - What an exciting last few months at Poinciana House! Our apartments across all floors are really starting to look the part with their first coats of paint on the walls. Kitchen cabinetry and benchtops have been installed across levels one to four, and cabinetry for levels five and six is being finalised. The ground floor has also received its first coat of paint and has cabinetry in progress. 

Outside we’ve been busy constructing the bowling green and landscaping is underway. The crane has been dismantled and the internal lifts are operational! With scaffolding starting to come down, beginning with the upper levels, the building façade is slowly becoming visible and we can’t wait to see the remainder emerge over the next few months.

Progress: Poinciana House shaping up

Construction Update July 2024

July 2024 – It’s been all systems go at Poinciana House with our new builders, Balmain & Co, making steady progress since they took over the site. On the lower levels we’ve been busy sheeting and sanding to ensure smooth and finished surfaces throughout. All the necessary services have been installed on the ground floor, and levels two to four have windows! 

Levels five and six are also really starting to take shape, with framing and rough-in works completed and window installation about to start. Up on the roof we’re ready for the installation of plant equipment and waterproofing measures. 

We’re now really working our way towards the building being watertight, with all glazing and roof works set for completion in September.  


Action back underway at Poinciana House

Construction Update April 2024

April 2024 - It has been so good to see activity at Poinciana House over the last month. We’re pleased to now have a new builder on site undertaking early works and coordinating all subcontractors. Our previous site managers are also continuing on the project to help ensure a smooth transition. 

Keyton recently took formal control of the site following St Hilliers, the builder overseeing construction, going into voluntary administration in February. We’re so excited to continue work on Poinciana House and look forward to construction being back in full swing very soon!
