Watermark Residences Castle Cove| 7 gone unrecognised. In 2011, Watermark at Castle Cove was a winner at the prestigious Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Awards. The village won in the category for best Senior’s Independent Living project in New South Wales – a victory that Enzo is personally proud of. “It’s always nice to have an accolade of that kind,” he says. “We went to great lengths to create an exceptional village, and we go to great lengths for our residents, and that award reflects that.” The UDIA judges commented that Watermark provides “an immediate sense of well-being from the outset, with high quality fittings and furnishings throughout.” They went on to compliment the integration of the Castle Cove Public Library on the premises, saying it provided a unique opportunity for residents to interact with the surrounding community. “The developer has achieved a fine balance between liveability, security and privacy,” the judges also said in their write-up. Moving forward, Enzo says theywant tomaintain that careful balance, and generally continue to live up to that accolade. That means always improving, and never “resting on their laurels.” “We’re always trying to move forward and innovate,” Enzo says. One aspect of moving forward is growth, he adds, and they are currently looking at doing that for Castle Cove. He says they have been very open with their residents about it, but clarifies that any and all expansion efforts would be conducted carefully and with the utmost sensitivity to their people. “We would like to grow our numbers to about 75 apartments,” he says. “And then that would be it. We don’t want to grow any further than that. We want to continue to be a boutique village, continue to offer strong service, and continue to have a strong culture. That sets us apart from a lot of others.”
