The 12-hectare development, known as Halcyon Serrata, will feature 250 turnkey homes with a guaranteed nine-month build time, catering to the growing demand for quality housing for Australia’s ageing population.
Developed by Stockland, this marks the company’s third over-50s community in the Moreton Bay region. With one in three Australians now over the age of 50, Stockland’s research shows this demographic is projected to grow by 1.8 percent annually over the next decade, outpacing overall population growth. Queensland, in particular, is expected to see an even higher growth rate of 1.9 percent, driven by internal migration and the popularity of coastal and rural living.
Andrew Astorquia, Stockland’s Project Director, said, “As Baby Boomers retire, the land lease model stands out as a key affordable living solution to boost Australia’s housing supply. Halcyon Serrata has been designed to meet the growing demand for quality homes while offering buyers the opportunity to move in sooner, thanks to our guarantee that your home will be built and settle in just nine months.”
He added, “Halcyon communities allow buyers to right-size without compromise, settle faster, and enjoy a lock-up-and-go lifestyle. With the option of seven house designs, and premium fixtures and finishes pre-selected, buyers can relax and enjoy a streamlined build process. Residents will enjoy a clubhouse with captivating views to the koala habitat, a heated magnesium pool, pickleball courts, bowling green, a gold class-style cinema, sauna – and so much more.”
Halcyon Serrata’s amenities will include a 25m heated salt pool with spa, gym and sauna, arts and crafts studio, community gardens, pickleball courts, a bowling green, and a clubhouse with a fireplace, library, and lounge.
