In a ground-breaking move for Australia's housing sector, the first vertical land lease community has been approved on the Gold Coast, redefining retirement living options.

The housing crisis continues to dominate our newsfeeds, and with new data highlighting that Australia is falling short of meeting the Housing Accord targets, it’s clear that action is required to speed up housing delivery. There is no one size fits all solution to such a complex challenge, diverse solutions are required to meet the changing needs of communities.

Whilst our focus has primarily been on greenfield developments, clients are exploring new high density options (i.e transport rich locations). So why aren’t we seeing more innovative concepts pushing the boundaries on efficient land use?
