Canberra's First Luxury Wellness Club Opens in Belconnen

The defining feature of The Lawson, a 244-apartment development beside Lake Ginninderra in Belconnen, is not a single apartment but a shared one. Club Lawson is a residents-only wellness and lifestyle floor that buyers and the local market alike have singled out as the project's point of difference from existing ACT stock.

What Club Lawson includes

The facility brings together a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and infrared sauna, alongside a gym, a yoga studio and dedicated meditation rooms. The social side runs to a residents lounge, a co-working space, a private dining room, a whisky bar and a BBQ terrace. The intent is that much of what a resident would otherwise leave home for, a workout, a sauna, a quiet room to focus, a place to host, sits a lift ride away.

Why amenity at this scale is unusual for Canberra

Apartment buildings in the ACT have historically offered a gym and perhaps a rooftop. A wellness floor of this breadth is closer to what is found in premium Sydney and Melbourne towers, and it is being delivered at Canberra price points, two-bedroom apartments from under $500,000 and three-bedroom homes from the $650,000s.

The Lawson was designed by Fender Katsalidis, with interiors by Bond Theory and construction by Kuatro. Sales are handled by Apartment Collective, the ACT specialist agency. Further detail on the development and Club Lawson is available at the-lawson.com.
