With their partnership on the Reside Communities senior living platform in 2018, Gaw and Greenfort are working together for the second time. At a gross value of over A$1 billion, the development now comprises over 1,000 residences.
“We are excited to partner again with GreenFort to launch our land lease community platform in Australia… this joint venture further strengthens our commitment to investing in sustainable and innovative projects that positively impact communities,” said Gaw Capital Partners president and managing principal Kenneth Gaw.
GreenFort launched Liven Communities last year and bought 57,000 square metres of Beach Road land in Hervey Bay, Queensland. It was approved to build 132 homes with resort-style amenities.
