34 | REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Fletcher Living: Park Green � Karen Phelps A community for mixed generations “With the addition of special design features, such as the incorporation of Lifemark Design Standards, this ensures Vivid Living homes are suitable for residents to age in place.” Fletcher Living and Vivid Living have brought to life a multi-generational neighbourhood with homes for everyone, with the opening of Vivid Living’s newest retirement community. Part of the Park Green Karaka development, the modern retirement villas are already being called home by some residents. “It’s a community neighbourhood where kids can walk down the street to school each day but then wander back to Grandma’s place after school while Mum and Dad are still at work,” says Gemma Gloyne, general manager of Vivid Living. “Park Green’s multi-generational concept allows families to live within the same neighbourhood while continuing their independence across different stages of life.” Vivid Living offers retirement living in brand-new two- and three-bedroom villas that are designed to meet specific needs of older adults, while looking and feeling like part of the wider neighbourhood with each home featuring its own street address, letterbox, private garden and front door. Built by Fletcher Living, the homes offer the same quality that the Fletcher Living brand is well known for, Gemma says. “With the addition of special design features, such as the incorporation of Lifemark Design Standards, this ensures Vivid Living homes are suitable for residents to age in place,” says Gemma. The Vivid Living village also features a central residents’ lounge, which is the heart of the community and where residents come together to connect and socialise. The village offers an active events calendar with yoga classes, rummikub, happy hours and morning teas all happening regularly. The innovative financial model distinguishes Vivid Living from traditional retirement villages, and is designed to respect the nest egg that many retirees have worked hard to create. Vivid Living offers a 50% share in any capital gains, a low deferred management fee (DMF) of only 15%, and a guaranteed buy back of four months. Vivid Living also offers innovation with its philosophy towards aged-care. “Starting with the belief that home is where care belongs, Vivid Living understands that many people want to stay in their own homes as they age. A partnership with Private Care NZ, a trusted New Zealand owned provider of in-home care, makes that possible,” says Gemma.
