Press Release: Signature style homes prove popular with the retired

A new development of retirement homes in Birmingham is proving to be a hit with the young at heart – just weeks after being unveiled.

Broadcaster Bob Warman and Birmingham City Council leader Cllr Mike Whitby officially opened Signature’s development in High Street, Harbourne, revealing its unique take on retirement living.

And already four of the homes have been reserved by eager over-55s.

Colette Evans, of Signature, said: “We are very pleased with the interest and the fact that reservations have been made so quickly.

“Ahead of the launch, we were sure we had an excellent product that mixed quality apartments with superb facilities for the over-55s but you can never be 100 per cent sure that it will be converted into interest and sales.

“But this unique brand of apartments coupled with the Signature Club, which consists of a Wellness Centre with spa, gym and treatment rooms is capturing the imagination.”

Signature homes are designed to help the over-55s live their retirement to the full and on top of all the amenities available nearby, they also benefit from a roof top terrace, a 24-hour receptionist, concierge, chauffeur, cleaning service and laundry service.

Colette added: “We have seen so many headlines lately regarding the population getting older. That may well be true when it comes to their age but in terms of people’s outlook, they are getting younger.

“Many people in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s are looking to make the most of life – whether that’s by going to the gym, eating out, going shopping or going to the movies or the theatre.

“This is a great location for them to be able to do that. And there are certainly not many retirement developments where you get your own chauffer thrown into the bargain!”

Each individual apartment provides the owner with independent living in sumptuous surroundings.

They come complete with fitted kitchens and bathrooms, while Signature employs a local, award-winning interior designer to help tailor the style of each home to every individual’s taste.

The homes are also extremely secure with on-site staff at hand 24 hours a day as well as having a secure double wave audio access system.

The city centre is close by along with a range of golf courses, Edgbaston Cricket Ground, live entertainment venues and Birmingham International Airport.

Prices start at £249,000 and more information is available from Signature Lifestyle on 0121 4106731. Alternatively, information is available from Savills on 0121 634 8484, Hadleigh on 0121 427 1213, Robert Powell & Co on 0121 454 6930, or by logging onto www.signatureapartments.co.uk
