Just this year, AVID launched an exciting new venture which aims to bring more to life by creating resort style, land lease communities for empty nesters! While communities of this nature are not new to the market, AVID’s approach is one rooted in its unique long-term brand mission of bringing people together. 

In this story, we dive into Vantage by AVID and what this new chapter offers for our existing and future residents. 

As AVID’s General Manager of Land Lease Communities Manuel Lang describes it, Vantage was a natural extension of AVID’s existing brands and communities, offering more diverse options for those purchasers looking to jump into their next chapter. 

“At AVID, we always say that: ‘what matters most to our customers matters most to us’ and what we’ve been finding is a growing desire for more diversity in housing options, especially as the baby boomer generation discover they have a lot more free time. 

“Vantage provides this in a way that offers not just new housing options, but also luxurious amenities to support a life well lived. We are also hoping to foster a strong sense of community among Vantage residents, something we are well known for in our existing residential communities,” Manuel explained. 

The 14 Vantage communities – all located along the Eastern seaboard – will include a range of exciting community facilities and amenities from swimming pools, theatres, shared dining and entertaining spaces to bowling greens, gyms, care services, and community centres. 

“Within each community, all homeowners have access to the same extensive community facilities, amenities, and services paying the same simple weekly fee – no matter the size of the home they own,” Manuel said. 

“We’ve taken our time with creating Vantage by AVID because we wanted to ensure everything had been considered, including bringing in a dedicated community management team who work in the community to support homeowners, maintaining the neighbourhood and keeping each neighbourhood secure and full of vibrancy. 

One of the most exciting elements for Manuel and the team has been the opportunity to create truly inter-generational addresses, with many of the new Vantage communities located beside existing AVID residential communities. 

“Our flagship communities in Victoria (Bloomdale) and Queensland (Harmony), will be the first to welcome Vantage neighbourhoods next door and we are beyond excited about merging these two communities,” Manuel said. 

“We know that, historically, less than ten per cent of residents in our masterplanned communities are over 50 years of age, and we wanted to provide a solution that would capture the attention of this group and add value to our established communities, and the people who live there.  

“We see Vantage appealing to the parents or even grandparents of some of our existing AVID customers. These people may not be wanting a typical freestanding home anymore and want to avoid the building process. Through our new Vantage communities, we offer them a brand new, fully complete home solution in a secure environment close to those that mean the most to them.

“Our teams are already excitedly planning events to bring these two resident groups together.”
