Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted

LONDON: The shortlist for the best seniors housing design has been declared.

Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

Untold Living, which is backed by Matter Real Estate, completed the acquisition of a prime 2.5-acre seafront site at Sovereign Harbour in November 2023 from Birch Limited, a Richardson family company.

Subject to planning consent, Untold Living will build a block of one- and two-bedroom apartments on the Eastbourne seafront. The architect is Gaunt Francis.

Homes will be available across a range of different mid-market tenures, including to buy, for rent and purchase via shared ownership. 

Founded in 2023, Untold Living owns and operates Chantry Court in Westbury, Wiltshire, and also has plans for retirement villages in Newport (Shropshire) and Crawley. Along with the Eastbourne scheme, it is targeting a gross development value of £300m for its initial development pipeline.

The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
