Meeting with a retirement village manager in Wellington

Tuesday, 15 January 2008

Today I’ve had the opportunity to talk to a retirement village manager in Wellington. This person was very nice, such as all New Zealander I’ve met till now, and told me my project would surely interest his business development department. His company is really impressive, with high development potential in New Zealand, and a huge implication in sustainable problematics. The villages are here being built like mushrooms (typical french expression), and as the concept is new and answers lots of questions elder people ask themselves about their “last” housing, it has fore sure a very interesting future in Europe. I’d be very interested in helping them to develop their villages on the European market.

This is definitely one more really interesting business contact for me when I’ll be back to Europe. The Oceanian offer is not that developed on the European market, especially in terms of housing and building. It would be great for me to contribute to its development !
