White Construction’s Post

The provision of later-living housing is in urgent need of reform. Our latest research has found that almost a third of over 65s want to move to better-connected areas in the future, with almost five million baby boomers set to move back to towns and cities by 2033. At RVG, we’re calling on the government’s Older People’s Housing Taskforce, local councils and the wider industry to help prepare the sector for growth and the avalanche of demand that is charging towards us.“We need action to turbo charge delivery of health, housing and social care strategies for older people” - Will Bax Read more about what Will has to say here: https://lnkd.in/eVS9kuZh

Today we have announced the conditional sale of a two acre plot at The Chocolate Works in York to McCarthy Stone - paving the way for a new retirement development. HBD and McCarthy Stone entered a partnership in 2019 and have since promoted the site through the planning process, achieving consent on appeal in March 2024 for a 72-home Retirement Living PLUS scheme. HBD will now work with McCarthy Stone to finish preparing the site for development, in line with its remaining contractual obligations, which is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2024. Speaking of the news, our colleague Tim Roberts, chief executive at Henry Boot, said: "Securing planning permission and agreeing the sale to McCarthy Stone of the last remaining land site at The Chocolate Works will bring much needed retirement living in York, helping address the huge demand for specialist retirement accommodation that exists right across the country. "By adding retirement accommodation, which will also offer tailored levels of care, alongside the residential and other uses we have developed at the site, helps achieve our goal of creating a deep and multi-generational community at this transformed former factory. In addition, it brings HBD's award winning work on this significant project to a close while representing a strong outcome for our shareholders." The retirement community marks the final phase of HBD's 27-acre development, which included the transformation of the former 160,000 sq ft Terry's Chocolate factory into 163 apartments.

Q: What is the average age of move-in for continuing care #retirement communities? A: Although it varies from one #CCRC to another, the industry-wide average age of move-in is late 70s or early 80s. Brand new communities will generally have a lower average move-in age than more established communities. But keep in mind that new CCRC residents are often healthier and more active compared to their peers. In fact, the average number of years in independent living within a CCRC is nearly 12 years.

Transforming Brownfields into Havens for Retirement 🏡✨ The former Ian Clough Hall site is set to become a luxurious retreat for the over-65s, with plans for a development of 47 retirement apartments submitted to Bradford Metropolitan District Council.📝 Research shows that residents of a typical 47-home McCarthy Stone development would collectively spend £362,000 a year on the local high street. 🛍️ This will bolster local businesses and secure jobs, showing the McCarthy Stone project is nothing short of an economic catalyst.🔒 With the district's over-65 population projected to surge by almost 40% by 2037, this is more than just development; it's a forward-looking solution to evolving demographic needs.🖋️ We're all going to get old one day, so it's good to see requirements are being considered and met for the older demographic in West Yorkshire.🧓 #Yorkshire #CommunityDevelopment #SustainableCities

I found a throwback Thursday photo that brings back so many memories from my childhood. It's a reminder of the time when life was simple, and our parents took care of everything we needed. We used to play around, building houses in the sand without realizing that it was actually the beginning of our architectural ambitions. Today, our minds are set on building modern houses instead of the ones we saw in the '80s. But as I reflect on this throwback, I can see that the old house could be renovated into something modern and valuable, and it's interesting to see how our perspectives have changed over time. Now I wonder, what do you see? Just like how our cycle has continued, future generations will undergo similar changes. Do we have investments planned for our kids? If you do, consider acquiring more, as it's never enough.
