Local Lincoln development marks YMCA’s first retirement community

FOLLOWING a highly successful expression of interest campaign, YMCA Victoria will soon launch its first ever retirement community to the public: Lincoln on the Bellarine, at Armstrong Creek Victoria.

“This is a new chapter for YMCA Victoria, complementing our ‘whole of life’ offering for the
Victorian community, as we embark on a journey to develop dedicated lifestyle options for seniors within our communities,” YMCA Victoria’s Pete Gillies said.

“Our purpose is to reinvent retirement as the start of living.”

Equidistant from the majestic Great Ocean Road and the burgeoning port city of Geelong, Lincoln on the Bellarine by YMCA Victoria presents a retirement living experience that’s packed with endless possibilities.

Underpinned by the principles of connectedness and integration with surrounding neighbourhoods, these 174 carefully curated two- and three-bedroom residences feature a coastal aesthetic designed to complement this vibrant and growing region.

Developed by YMCA Victoria in partnership with ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects, Lincoln on the Bellarine has been designed to create a symbiotic effect between residents, staff and the wider community.

“We’re building a new brand of senior living in the form of walkable urban villages,” Clarke HopkinsClarke principal Wayne Stephens said.

The residences will be complemented by a comprehensive range of facilities: café, aquati centre and gym (open to the public) and residents lounge, theatrette, arts room and private dining (exclusive to residents only), all of which will be built against a backdrop of walking trails, central park, orchard and community garden.

Lincoln on the Bellarine will launch to the general public from August.
