Our Business

Our business model has been refocused to build a best-in-class integrated retirement living platform, that is positioned to deliver real cash profitability and growth for our investors. We aim to drive growth in cash flows and total returns by realising the identified development opportunities within our existing portfolio and by continuing to add value accretive opportunities to the platform over the longer term by recycling capital into higher value opportunities to optimise our growth potential.

Most of our retirement communities offer residents the opportunity to age with us by moving from independent living options to assisted living options and higher acuity care as their needs change. We have plans to include a continuum of care in almost all our retirement communities. Only three of our 36 communities are focused solely on higher acuity care services.

Independent living options include villas, townhouses and apartments. Assistance and care services can be accessed by residents in serviced apartments and care suites. Our aged care offering includes resthome, hospital and dementia care.

Diversity in our portfolio has come about with implementation of an acquisition growth strategy.

Also, we have made portfolio refinements by divesting a number of our smaller and care-only communities.

Our growth strategy has evolved as our portfolio has matured. Now we are more focused on building broad-acrevilla-led retirement communities set in urban-fringe locations. Providing a continuum of care continues to remain central to our strategy.

With an existing landbank that comprises over 1,800 homes, we are set to grow and continue to build beautiful retirement communities with superb amenities that will allow our residents the freedom to thrive as they age.
