At just 37 years of age, Adrian is a disruptor in the land lease sector and his latest triumph will be revolutionary, bringing the model into the traditional retirement village stronghold of the cities.

Adrian told SATURDAY that the approval just before Christmas for the Puljich family-run GemLife's first vertical land lease community at Currumbin Waters on Queensland’s Gold Coast, was eight years in the making.

The community will feature six three-level buildings and one four-level building, with 205 three-bedroom homes, a multi-million dollar three-level country club and a total of cost around $450 million. The buildings have been designed by Gold Coast architect Jared Poole Design.
