Delfin Lend Lease launches new Adaptus living in Melbourne
In a bid to address the growing challenge of housing affordability in Melbourne, Delfin Lend Lease has unveiled Adaptus – a series of innovative house and land packages which will sell from $190,000.
Designed by Delfin’s architectural team, Adaptus features fewer internal walls allowing the occupant to easily tailor spaces into rooms which suit their needs.
Melbourne is the first market to pilot the new Adaptus home designs, which will be rolled out across Delfin Lend Lease communities over the next 12 months.
Delfin Lend Lease Chief Operating Officer David Keir said Adaptus catered to the emerging housing market where homebuyers were more price-conscious and looking for homes which could be tailored perfectly to their needs.
“The homes are spacious and light with clean lines, polished concrete or wooden floors, tall windows, a cathedral ceiling, and optional glass or bi-fold doors flowing to the outside courtyard - the sorts of inclusions you would not expect in an affordable home.”
Delfin Lend Lease’s principle architect Stephen Birrell said Adaptus was another of Delfin Lend Lease’s exciting new design products to be released as an alternative to traditional housing options.
“We began work on Adaptus two years ago after we conducted extensive market research and identified consumers were bored with the range of affordable housing on the market and they wanted something fresh, new and modern,” he said.
“Adaptus has taken flexible living to a new level. Homeowners are no longer forced to use a particular room in a set way but can easily adapt it so it can be used for a variety of purposes.
“We expect Adaptus to appeal to a range of homebuyers - from young and funky singles to mature down-sizing couples.”
Adaptus is the latest Delfin-designed product following the Warehouse, Town Cottage, Villas and Soho designs, making Delfin the largest Australian developer to invest in products to suite niche and emerging markets.
Ranging in size from 101mē to 118mē in living space, and with prices starting from $190,000 for a house and land package, Adaptus are on display at Caroline Springs in Western Melbourne and Lakeside at Pakenham in South-East Melbourne from 19 February.
Covering more than 800 hectares, the masterplanned community of Caroline Springs is already home to more than 7,800 Melbournians. It is being developed by Delfin Lend Lease, Australia’s leading urban developer with more than 20 projects across the country.media
