Operating as WholeLife, Inc., the company is "the first national developer to design a housing concept for the booming group of empty nesters looking to downsize—but who no longer count on equity growth through home ownership.  Now, WholeLife offers them luxury residential communities built to Class A custom home standards, available solely on a rental basis."

 

 

Besides Chattanooga, WholeLife, Inc. controls sites in Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, said John Lowery, CEO, Lowery Companies. 

 

 

“WholeLife is about 'attainable luxury living' for the successful adult seeking a five-star lifestyle without the capital investment normally associated with a luxury home.  Instead of settling for a third floor walk-up apartment like they had in college or early careers, WholeLife offers a high-design, luxury-inspired home within an upscale neighborhood—for rent,” Mr. Lowery said.

 

 

The suburban-style Traditions cottages – such as the ones underway in Chattanooga – are set within a community of 100-150 residences from 1,500-2,000 square feet. The Traditions communities feature designer landscaping and the ambience of a traditional American community.  An expansive WholeLife Club is at the center of community life, with space for gatherings, events, state-of-the-art fitness center, designer swimming pool, game room, business center, and more.

 

The Concierge communities for urban settings offer a lifestyle comparable to living in a luxury hotel, with 100-200 residences in a multistory building with onsite shops, spas, and multiple dining choices, it was stated.

 

 

WholeLife communities also feature 24/7 concierge medical care through partnerships with area medical practices to provide convenient on-site urgent care, specialist referrals, dietary and fitness consultations, and in-home care.

 

Mr. Lowery said he is actively seeking partners to bring the WholeLife concept to all 50 states—and beyond.  He believes the concept will attract landholders, builders, developers, owner/operators, and others within the multi-family real estate industry, and invites interested parties to contact him.

 

 

Lowery Companies brings extensive experience and expertise to design, development, construction and marketing of targeted housing (active adult, senior independent and assisted living) and multi-faceted resorts in high traffic, amenity heavy markets, officials said.  The company has built more than 3,500 of the home designs for sale that are now being offered on a rental basis.  Visit wholelifeworld.com.

Location Of The Delta Queen Is The Problem

The Delta Queen is a magnificent part of history and in many ways I'm pleased she is in town. Having the boat where she is is the problem. The boat blocks the view of and from the prettiest park in our town. The crew take many of the parking spots around the park leaving families to park across Frazier and schlep their kids, strollers and picnics to the park. You don't get fireworks ... (click for more)
