Levande

What Levande does

Levande is an Australian retirement living operator headquartered in Sydney that owns and operates 59 retirement communities across five states and territories (ACT, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, and Victoria), serving more than 10,000 residents. The company serves modern, independent Australian seniors, typically aged 65 and over, who are seeking low-maintenance housing with built-in community, amenities, and wellness support while preserving autonomy. Its portfolio spans urban, regional, and coastal locations and is structured around three core product types: Independent Living Villas (detached or semi-detached single-level units with private courtyards), Independent Living Apartments (mid-rise units with balconies), and Serviced Apartments (which include daily meals and cleaning).

The underlying operational platform is a low-maintenance retirement community design and operations model rather than a software product, integrating thoughtfully designed amenities, wellness programs, social infrastructure, and community management across the portfolio. Supporting tools include an online Retirement Living Costs Calculator, a Retirement Move Planner built around a partnership with independent financial advisory service Village Guru, a 6-month change-of-mind money-back guarantee, and a Microsoft Bookings-powered callback scheduling system.

The business model combines one-time property sales or leases (one-time licence-style ingoing contributions on Independent Living Villas and Apartments) with recurring subscription-style service fees covering community services, maintenance, amenities, and—in the case of Serviced Apartments—meals and cleaning. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the company website (levandeliving.com.au), a dedicated phone line staffed by Retirement Living Guides (1800 72 71 70), physical village tours, and community events such as weekly Happy Hour sessions in Victoria. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective residents are routed to direct contact or the costs calculator. The primary customer segment is the persona of independent seniors seeking community-oriented retirement living, with no enterprise or institutional customers disclosed.
