Creating Modern Homes for Retirees Aged 55+ in the heart of Ringwood
In response to the growing demand for retirement living in Australia, Orion International Group, a diversified property developer, is expanding its portfolio with its first retirement living development, aimed at making a significant impact and redefining retirement living in Australia. Orion is committed to advancing the sector by creating exceptional communities for contemporary retirees. Orion’s inaugural retirement living project, Dux Churchill, represents a new standard in retirement living, emphasising modernity, purpose, and community. With the esteemed team behind Dux Churchill—including Via as the architect, Studio Tate as the interior designer, Memla as the landscape architect, and One Fell Swoop as the operations consultants—Dux Churchill is designed to be a premier destination where retirees can truly thrive. Together, our vision is to foster environments that encourage active and low-maintenance lifestyles for retirees.
