Ingenia Group’s land lease ownership model is heralding more benefits for downsizers, as the retirement village operator’s concept is allowing home builders to utilise innovative construction techniques to create forward-thinking new home designs.

The success of the new methods is being driven by the increasing demand from over 55s looking to move away from the traditional bricks and mortar construction process and downsize into optimal retirement lifestyle communities.

Major benefits of the new home design innovations mean homeowners can purchase a home that uses a traditional construction method of building with zero level transitions, reducing the need for stairs on the home and ultimately assists with ageing in place.

Additionally, due to the strategic placement of the homes on site, the new homes are delivered under the financial benefits of the land lease model so residents are able to downsize to a more manageable home whilst still being able to take full advantage of financial assistance from government rental assistance on the weekly site fees.

All homes feature open plan living, generous covered decks, air conditioning, storage and built in robes to all bedrooms, as well as custom kitchens fit for entertaining, and a wide selection of custom upgrades and environmental considerations for individual needs.

The homes are completed with decking, landscaping and utility connections, all taking approximately 12-15 weeks in build time allowing residents to move into their homes sooner and at a more affordable price.
