We have been working closely with them to advise on their relationships with lenders and financers to keep projects moving along as smoothly as possible. And it’s certainly a balancing act for them, to ensure their business is economically viable whilst meeting industry requirements and maintaining the sanctity of their residents’ home.” To help retirement village owners and operators maintain this balanced, Rodgers & Co collaborates with industry partners PKF Goldsmith Fox Auditors, Collies Valuers, CBRE Valuers, Anchorage Statutory Supervisors, Covenant Trustees Statutory Supervisors, and the New Zealand Retirement Villages Association, and would like to thank them for their ongoing support and care. Rodgers & Co are currently working to support three emerging villages through the initial construction and development phase. “Recently we’ve been working with proposed retirement villages doing our due diligence with initial reporting and financial viability. So, we do get involved right from day one, to ensure a village is economically sound with the appropriate financial plans and strategies in place before building even begins. We also have members of our network in the construction and project management side of our industry for further support.” Looking to the future, Rodgers & Co aims to continue bringing value to those caring for New Zealand’s ageing population. As demands increase for retirement villages across the country, this is a definitely a company to watch. Mr. Pryce concludes, “New Zealand is getting pretty close to the point where we won’t have enough retirement villages to support our elderly. At Rodgers & Co, we are keenly aware of this predicament and doing everything we can to support the continued growth of our clients’ assets. We are consistently advising them on the best forward planning practices to ensure the long-term viability of our sector from independent living right through to hospital care. We understand the importance of preserving and developing these environments and the quality of life they bring to local Kiwis- after all, it could be our own parents, grandparents, or even ourselves living in them one day. As the need for villages grows, so does our passion for supporting everything that they do.” Michael Ambrose, Consultant Harpreet Kaur, Client Advisor Lisa Taylor, Client Manager
