A lifestyle community for over-50s has been recognised with a significant development industry state award.
Stockland B by Halcyon, in the foothills of Buderim, was acknowledged for Excellence in Seniors’ Living at the Urban Development Institute of Australia Queensland awards, held at Brisbane City Hall on Friday, November 3.
B by Halcyon spans 25 hectares and is surrounded by trees, with homeowners having six hectares of private open space; a lifestyle, wellness and recreational precinct, which includes a club and bar; and an outdoor resort-style pool and spa.
Stockland Halcyon regional project director Chris Carley said it was an honour for the community to be recognised.
“Staying true to Buderim’s spirit, B by Halcyon has a community atmosphere, with carefully designed spaces that enhance the unique environment to create a rich and rewarding lifestyle for our homeowners,” he said.

“Sustainability was a key focus in the design of B by Halcyon, with a vision to create one of our most sustainable communities yet.
“Each single-level home in the community has a superior energy rating and comes standard with solar power, which can help many homeowners save money on their energy bills.”
The community also has Tesla Powerwall batteries to power common facilities, a Tesla shared vehicle, and electric vehicle charging stations.
“B by Halcyon had strong market response when it launched in February 2020 and is now 90 per cent sold with just 31 homes remaining,” he said.
The annual UDIA Queensland Awards for Excellence honoured the highest achievers across all sectors of the development industry with winners eligible to contest the national awards.
Entrants in the Seniors’ Living category were judged on a number of factors including environmental consideration, design innovation, sales results and commitment to the broader community, as well as meeting the specific needs of retirement-age homeowners.
