As the first large provider in town, our nationwide reputation has driven strong demand.” T T to page 100 Summerset Group has announced a significant expansion of its Blenheim retirement village, acquiring an additional four hectares of land adjacent to its existing development. The expansion comes as the village, located in the heart of Marlborough’s wine country, experiences strong demand, says Summerset Group construction manager Joe Roberts. “There has been huge interest in the village, highlighting a gap in the market. As the first large provider in town, our nationwide reputation has driven strong demand,”, explains Joe. The village, located at 183 Old Renwick Road, Springlands, has already made substantial progress, with 67 villas completed and more than 36 residents now calling the village home. The village’s design pays homage to its surroundings, incorporating a rural and vineyard theme in its landscaping, including grape vines, to harmonise with Marlboroug’s distinctive character. Strategically positioned, it offers residents stunning mountain views while being surrounded by working vineyards. Joe says the project’s careful planning ensures a steady delivery of new villas every quarter to meet ongoing demand. Once fully developed, it is projected to accommodate approximately 400 residents. With a range of two- and three-bedroom homes to choose from, residents can enjoy modern, bright, and spacious villas designed for comfort and ease. These single-storey homes feature contemporary kitchens, laundry facilities, an internal- access garage, and outdoor living spaces perfect for relaxation and entertainment. Each villa includes a bathroom and a second toilet, with easy-access showers, grab rails, and slip-resistant floors for added safety and peace of mind. In addition to independent living options, the village provides a comprehensive range of accommodation choices, including cottages designed for easy maintenance, serviced apartments with 24-hour support, and a care centre certified by the Ministry of Health for rest home and hospital-level care. “From household services and chores to personalised care and support, Summerset tailors its offerings to suit individual needs, ensuring residents can continue to live the life they choose with the added peace of mind of living in a warm and friendly community,” says Joe.
