Untold Living Breaks Ground on £20M Retirement Community in Newport

At Untold Living, we're dedicated to creating vibrant communities that empower modern retirees to embrace the richness of later life. We're excited to announce the commencement of construction on our £20 million retirement community in Newport, Shropshire.

This thoughtfully designed development will feature 61 apartments and 15 bungalows, complemented by an on-site bistro, all situated just off the A41 opposite Mere Park Garden Centre. Our aim is to provide supportive, age-appropriate housing that offers both purchase and rental options, along with optional 24-hour on-site care tailored to individual needs.

The official ground-breaking ceremony was a momentous occasion, attended by local civic leaders and our esteemed partners from McPhillips, the award-winning contractor leading the construction. Their commitment to quality and community aligns seamlessly with our vision for this project.

Amy Herbert, our Director of Operations, expressed the significance of this milestone:

"Today marks a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering communities that support modern retirees wanting to right-size, do so affordably and with ease. As both developer and operator, we’re long-term partners of

Newport’s wider community as well as our residents, and we look forward to continuing to invest in the area over the coming years."
We recognize the pressing need for high-quality, smaller housing options in Newport. This development will enable older residents to remain within their cherished community while enjoying more manageable and supportive living environments.

Construction is expected to take approximately 18 months, with the first residents anticipated to move in by mid-2026. We remain committed to investing in Newport and look forward to welcoming our future residents to a community designed to enhance their quality of life.

At Untold Living, we believe that later life is a time for growth, independence, and empowerment. Our Newport community embodies this philosophy, offering a supportive environment where residents can thrive.

We look forward to continuing to transform the retirement living landscape across the UK.
