Executive General Manager of Stockland Halcyon Communities, Richard Rhydderch said it was an honour for Stockland to be recognised.

“Halcyon Greens has set a benchmark providing the Baby Boomer generation with the choice, style and quality they’re looking for in retirement,” Mr Rhydderch said.

“Modern seniors are demanding prime locations, thoughtful community planning, extensive resort style facilities and contemporary and environmentally sensitive home designs. Stockland Halcyon Greens has enjoyed strong sales with the community selling out in May 2022, 17 months ahead of schedule.”

Mr Rhydderch said Stockland Halcyon Greens has been a game changer in the lifestyle community sector designed for over 50s with its focus on sustainability.
