Best retirement village 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.

Imhoff Manor, a multi-million rand exclusive retirement village in Kommetjie, is Devmark Property Group’s inaugural venture in the Southern Peninsula of Cape Town, joining a distinguished portfolio including successful retirement villages such as Clé de Cap, Legato, Heritage Manor, Onrus Manor, La Vie Est Belle, Villa Cortona, and more recently Helderberg Manor, The Plettenberg Manor, and Langebaan Manor.

Perched adjacent to the charming village of Kommetjie and nestled in the heart of the Imhoff Lifestyle Estate, the development offers breathtaking vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, Noordhoek wetlands, Chapman’s Peak, and Hout Bay.

Jean Ehlers, residential development director of Devmark Property Group, shares his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re extremely excited about Imhoff Manor, which will be our tenth retirement development.

“Kommetjie has become an immensely popular town for people seeking a relaxed lifestyle away from the city centre, but still want to live nearby. It’s the perfect area for retirement, with beaches and nature on your doorstep, lots of activities and a peaceful, relaxed lifestyle with a low crime rate, surrounded by a vibrant community.”

Phase 1 of this development, featuring 28 freehold homes, is scheduled to welcome residents by 2026. These architecturally designed luxury homes start at 141m², with prices beginning from R3,550m.

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