How To Apply

Life Leasing With Us

Life Leasing is a new concept to the region of Thunder Bay. It offers many convenient benefits to you as a retiree, as well as to those associated in caring for you. When you purchase a home at Pennock Village, whether an independent-living Garden Home (Duplex) or Villa (Townhome), you secure the exclusive right to live in your unit for as long as you wish. The Life Lease model allows Pennock Village, as a non-profit sponsor, to establish and maintain a 55+ community of people who share the same interests and values. As an owner you will be required to pay a monthly occupancy fee (similar to a condo) to help maintain the property and its amenities, while also covering the services provided to you as a Resident/Owner.

The purchase prices of the homes at Pennock Village are based on current construction costs. This will reflect the exceptional construction practices, fine attention to detail, and the modernistic amenities that are included.

A Fixed Price Model allows you, as a Resident/Owner, to acquire long-term comfort and stability through preserving your equity. You can be confident in your investment, knowing what you will receive when the Life Lease is sold back to the non-profit sponsor (N.W.O. Rural Christian Seniors Village Inc.).  Should you give a notice, you will receive the original purchase back less a refurbishing and marketing fee (as outlined in your Life Lease Agreement at the time of purchase).

The Steps to Life Lease Residency/Ownership

Life Leasing a Unit at Pennock Village is a straightforward process. To become a Life Lease Resident/Owner:

  • Complete and submit the Priority Waitlist Request Application
  • Once the application has been submitted, a Priority Agreement will be prepared for you (and your spouse, if applicable). Upon signing the Priority Agreement, and providing a deposit of $1,000.00 (refundable, if required) to NWORCSV, you will be given a Priority Number.
  • Your Priority Number will give you the opportunity to become a purchaser of a Life Lease Agreement/Unit when available (this opportunity will be given in the order of the deposits received at the Corporation).

Phase 1 will be the building of Garden Homes (Duplexes), which is expected to commence in Spring 2025. Phase 2 will be a continuation of the construction of Garden Homes. Villa Townhomes are planned to commence in Phase 3, however, if there is sufficient interest then they may begin construction sooner.
