Keep Pace as Retirement Living Sector Shifts Gears

Australia’s retirement living sector is shifting gears.

Traditional village models are giving way to a new generation of retirement communities that integrate lifestyle, wellness, amenity and value for money.

With consumer expectations changing and regulatory settings in flux, developers and operators are rethinking where, what, why and how they deliver retirement communities.

But where does the opportunity lie?

The Urban Developer Retirement Living Summit will unpack the major trends influencing the sector—from the rise of vertical retirement living and land lease communities to shifts in investment strategies, planning frameworks and valuation methodologies.
