20 Nov 2025 CW Team

Serene Communities by Columbia Pacific has announced a partnership with Asset Homes to develop four world-class senior living communities across Kerala. The collaboration, involving investments exceeding Rs5 billion, brings together Serene’s international expertise in senior care and Asset Homes’ strong local reputation for delivery and trust.

The first project under the partnership — Serene Young @ Heart — has been unveiled in Kochi and is scheduled for completion by early 2028. Located in the heart of the city, the development will feature 211 residences comprising 1, 1.5 and 2 BHK apartments, set amid greenery across 169,000 sq ft.

The partnership will deliver senior living projects in Kottayam and Thiruvananthapuram, along with a waterfront ultra-luxury development in Kochi.

Rajagopal G, Co-Founder, Director and Group CEO of Serene Communities, said Kerala’s ageing population and higher life expectancy make it a key region for senior care innovation. “With Serene Young @ Heart, we are introducing a world-class environment that allows seniors to age gracefully — surrounded by care, comfort and connection,” he said.

Sunil Kumar, Managing Director of Asset Homes, described the project as the beginning of a long-term collaboration aimed at raising the standard of senior living in the State.

Serene Communities by Columbia Pacific — the senior living vertical of LifeBridge Group — currently operates 10 senior living communities across India, overseeing 1,700 residential units and 2,400 seniors under care. With 13 projects under development in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Chennai, Kochi, Pune and Hyderabad, the brand plans to launch at least 15 new projects in the next two years, targeting 10,000 homes under care by 2030.
