Thakral’s GemLife to build Australia’s first vertical land lease community

The project is worth $384m.

Thakral’s Australian business, GemLife, will develop the country’s first vertical land lease community at Currumbin Waters on the Gold Coast.

The A$450m ($384m) development, designed for “high-quality over-50s living,” will be launched this year.

Spanning 13.85 hectares, it will feature six three-storey buildings and one four-storey building, offering 205 three-bedroom apartments.
Amenities will include a boutique cinema, bowling alley, indoor pool with spa, gym, lounge, and ballroom.

Meanwhile, 70% of the site will be preserved as green open space and rehabilitated.

“This vertical model will offer a variety of housing options across different price points, providing greater affordability and flexibility for homeowners while securing long-term recurring revenue growth, reinforcing GemLife’s ability to deliver sustained value for residents and stakeholders alike,” Ashmit Singh Thakral, alternate director of Thakral and CFO and director of GemLife said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
