Where Lifestyle Demand Meets Investor Opportunity

Solana - Bribie Island

Land Lease Communities (LLCs) are emerging as one of Australia’s most resilient residential models. For investors, they present a compelling opportunity, combining development income, inflation-linked long-term cashflows, and a capital-light structure. Stockwell provides access to this asset class through its Solana Lifestyle Resorts portfolio, enabling Wholesale and Sophisticated Investors to co-invest in both the development and operation of these growing communities.

For residents, the benefits are equally clear. LLCs offer lower entry prices compared to traditional housing, no stamp duty, straightforward contracts, access to government rent assistance, and premium community amenities. CBRE data shows that homes within these communities typically trade at a 10%–70% discount to nearby traditional housing, allowing residents—many of whom own their primary dwelling outright with significant equity—to free up capital for retirement. Safety, security, and a sense of connection are also key drivers, with more than 60% of residents citing these as reasons for their move. With Australia’s 65+ population forecast to grow from 4.75 million to 7 million by 2040, demand for this model is expected to increase significantly.

Stockwell has been at the forefront of this sector for over a decade through its Solana Lifestyle Resorts business. Solana continues to expand across Queensland, with active developments in Hervey Bay, Mackay, and Agnes Water, alongside a lodged development application in Bargara and a fully tenanted operational resort on Bribie Island. This track record reinforces both the demand for and sustainability of the LLC model.

The Stockwell Mortgage Income Trust – FM2 (SMIT-FM2) builds on this momentum. Since launching its first FM Class in 2022, Stockwell has accelerated Solana’s growth, taking the portfolio to more than 1,100 homes upon completion. SMIT-FM2 enables Wholesale and Sophisticated Investors to co-invest alongside Stockwell in this expanding sector.

What sets Stockwell apart is its non-institutional, private, integrated model. As a cross-generational family business with over 72 years of experience, Stockwell combines development expertise, operational management, and capital stewardship to deliver risk-adjusted, reliable returns for its investors.
