The Mayor marks the start of construction work for Orchid Place
The Mayor of Exeter, Councillor Kevin Mitchell, took part in a special ceremony at the city’s newest Retirement Living community, Orchid Place-coming soon to Exeter, Devon.
The new retirement apartments are designed to meet the needs of local retirees who want to downsize – this in turn frees up much-needed housing stock in the area for first-time buyers and families.
The Mayor spoke to the McCarthy Stone team about the role these retirement homes will play in Exeter before putting a spade in the ground and laying one of the first bricks.
He said, “There is an urgent need for more specialist retirement homes not just in Exeter but across the region and up and down the country. Developers, such as McCarthy Stone, have an important role to play in meeting that burgeoning demand and ensuring people can continue to live independently in later life. This is an incredibly exciting time for Exeter and I look forward to watching the development’s progress.”
Buy off-plan in summer, move in in spring.
These one and two-bedroom retirement apartments for the over 60s, will offer amenities including communal lounges and garden spaces for socialising, excellent transport links, and delightful riverside walks on the doorstep. Properties will be available to buy off-plan from summer 2025. We expect people to start to move in to Orchid Place in early 2026. Sign up now to hear when these retirement properties are available to buy – we think these homes will be popular!
