According to Aura Holdings, they received keen interest from retirees after launching its fourth-stage building ‘Francis’ that they decided to move forward on the construction of both buildings in June 2021. 

Lingrove is one of six buildings planned for Kingsford Terrace Corinda, which will have a total of 250 independent living apartments. Stages 1 and 2 were completed in 2016 and 2018 whilst Stage 3 was completed in December 2020. The original plan was to develop the village in subsequent stages over the next two to three years.

Lingrove will offer 30 apartments in one-bedroom, two-bedroom with study, or three-bedroom options, whilst Francis will provide 18 two and three-bedroom apartments. The pet-friendly village offers residents facilities including a heated indoor pool, café, gym, hairdresser, a stunning cellar to store and enjoy wine, a billiards room, library, dining and functions room and consulting areas for allied health professionals.

Aura Holdings’ director Mark Taylor said since the start of 2021, the demand for independent-living apartments at Kingsford Terrace has been at a record high. 

“In the past two months alone, we have sold 16 apartments – it seems everyone wants to retire to Kingsford Terrace! We believe this unprecedented demand is the result of the excellent reputation the village has established in the local area,” he said.

“So many of our buyers are word-of-mouth referrals from our happy residents. Our community of retirees has flourished and as their friends and family visit and experience the lifestyle too, word is out about Kingsford Terrace,’’ Mr Taylor added.

The construction of Francis and Lingrove buildings is expected to be completed by the second half of 2022, weather and construction conditions permitting. The apartments that remain for sale range from $590,000 to $980,000.

Corinda’s Kingsford Terrace Stage 2 Development Now Underway

Retirement villages are booming as the development trend of aged-care facilities in various Brisbane suburbs continues. In Corinda, the Stage 2 development of Kingsford Terrace on Cliveden Avenue by Aura Holdings is well underway. Queensland construction company McNab is handling the second stage of development in coordination with O’Neill Architecture.

Kingsford Terrace is a luxury retirement community. Now offering units from their Litchfield building, the development boasts of amenities for residents that provide a coastal feel and elegant amenities. Apartments come in one to three bedrooms. Kingsford Terrace is also conveniently located near medical services, sporting clubs and shops.

Along with that, a 53-apartment building named Duporth is also due for completion by mid-2018. This building will consist of studio, two and three bedroom apartments.

State-of-the-art luxury amenities such as a heated pool, gym, beauty & hair salon, library, cafe, and dining & function rooms are also expected to be completed mid-2018.

The Brisbane City Council sees a 50% rise by 2027 on the demand for retirement and aged care housing. The boom in retirement facilities is also because of retirees wanting to live close to family and friends, a far cry from the days when retirees went off-grid. Now, they can still continue with their lives in their suburb as more developers start to build retirement facilities within the suburban ring.
