Sense Yowani is a new retirement village operator and a TP Dynamics-owned brand. Founder Tony Pan’s vision is to build one of Australia’s most luxurious retirement living brands, with villages in iconic suburban locations — and Sense Yowani is the genesis of that vision.

Since 1955, Yowani has been deeply woven into Canberra’s urban heritage. The visionary Newlyne precinct builds on this stunning backdrop to create a multigenerational, mixed-use neighbourhood. Architecturally diverse buildings frame a central parkland that winds through the landscape, echoing the flow of Sullivans Creek, which borders the precinct.

The retirement village itself is designed for comfort and independence, combining urban convenience with a connection to nature, and easy access to shopping, transport and leisure. Resort-style amenities make it effortless to live the way you choose, with wellness, hospitality, care and lifestyle experiences all close at hand.

This landmark development boasts a wide range of amenities spanning dining, health, lifestyle and wellness. Residents can enjoy cafés and restaurants, bars, an art studio, hairdresser, allied health services, an indoor pool and sauna, gym, library, theatre and secure underground parking — all just steps from light rail and bus transport.

As Sense Retirement’s Business Development Manager, Matt O’Connor explains, it’s this approach that sets Sense apart from other providers: “It’s about providing a purpose, home and belonging for each resident — having the right support, services and people around them to make it home. Our onsite care partner, National In-Home Care, has been looking after senior Canberrans for over 25 years, and will ensure residents can live confidently in their own homes with personalised care that evolves with them. They’ll also help residents navigate funding and services, easing much of the anxiety and uncertainty that can come with this stage of life. It’s these extra touches that truly sustain quality of life.”

Matt goes on to say “Residents who feel accepted, valued and connected are more likely to be engaged, enjoy and thrive in the community. Belonging isn’t just a social outcome; it satisfies the fundamental human need of being valued and welcomed.”

Stage 1 is now over 80 per cent sold, with only a small number of apartments remaining, and is set for completion in mid-2027. Stage 2 is now selling, giving future residents the opportunity to secure their preferred apartment early in Canberra’s newest seniors living community. The second stage has an expected completion date of mid-2029.

Across every stage of Sense Yowani, residents can choose from beautifully appointed one, two and three-bedroom apartments, each designed with comfort in mind — featuring large open-plan living, a generous master bedroom with ensuite, and a spacious balcony to make the most of the parkland views.

Sense’s age-in-place model means residents can remain independent, with the confidence that support is there if and when they need it. Whether it’s personal care, allied health, transport or post-operative assistance, help is always close by — without ever needing to leave the community you love.
