Retirees to get first look at new homes on former historic site in Southend
With construction well underway, McCarthy Stone is hosting a Discovery Day on Wednesday, April 2, to showcase the development, named Haydn Place.
The event will offer a glimpse of the 60 low-maintenance, stylish one and two-bedroom retirement apartments that will soon be available.
The Discovery Day will take place at the Maritime Room at Southend Cliffs Pavilion on Station Road, with sessions at 11am and 2pm.
Places must be booked in advance by calling 0800 153 3435.
The new community will feature superb communal spaces, including a lounge for socialising and a communal garden maintained by McCarthy Stone's team.
Rebecca Johnson, sales director at McCarthy Stone, said: "Buying a new home is always a big decision, but never more so when considering downsizing and embracing a new lifestyle in an age-exclusive development.
"That's why we want to ensure those considering this option have as much information, support, and choice as possible."

The Discovery Day will provide an opportunity to learn more about the quality of accommodation soon to be available in Southend, as well as meet the McCarthy Stone team.
Ms Johnson added: "Our innovative approach to independent living ensures homeowners don't have to compromise on their lifestyle, their social life, or their independence.
"We're anticipating high demand for the new retirement homes at Haydn Place, so would urge anyone interested to secure their appointment as soon as possible."
Each property will be fitted with state-of-the-art security features, including a 24-hour emergency call system.
A house manager will also be on-site during office hours to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The Nazareth House development has been named Haydn Place, in honour of Southend actor Richard Haydn, and a further 84 retirement apartments are due to be built on the site by developer Acorn.
Nazareth House was established in Southend in 1873 as a home for the elderly as well as for "sickly or incurable" children.

'It was the nicest looking pub in our area - it's such a shame it closed'
People in Arnold have been remembering a former pub that's due to be demolished after developers overcame a hurdle in the planning process. Plans to demolish the Friar Tuck pub, in Gedling Road, and replace it with a retirement living block were approved by Gedling Borough Council's planning committee in February 2025. But the project has been delayed by six months, due to work needed to agree the financial contributions retirement communities developer McCarthy Stone needs to pay out for the local community. With the £70,000 section 106 agreement now agreed, the redevelopment can now go ahead. But the news was met with dismay by people living nearby who spoke of fondness when recalling the former pub. READ MORE: 16 fun things you used to be able to do in Nottingham but can't any more READ MORE: Memories of little known pop star's gig at Nottingham club hours before meteoric rise to fame Arnold resident Dave Finch said he would 'rather have the pub back' as opposed to the apartments, saying: 'I do miss it – it was on my doorstep.' Jean Butt, 78, added: 'I think the whole thing [the redevelopment] is awful. It was the nicest looking pub in the area. "My husband and I used to go in all the time and have a pint. The car park used to be full too. But these things happen. We don't know what issues we're going to have round here until they [flats] come.' The pub was opened in 1958 by Daybrook brewery the Home Brewery Company but had been run by Greene King until its closure last year. The new retirement block is expected to comprise 51 apartments for those over 60. Back in February's planning committee meeting, one nearby resident, Carol Ball, objected to the plans over the pub being part of Arnold's history and called the new apartment block 'another ugly, bland, modern building'. A Gedling Borough council spokesperson said: 'Finalising this agreement took some time, which is normal for major applications. Once the legal agreement was completed, the planning permission was formally issued on August 4.' A McCarthy Stone spokesperson has said: 'McCarthy Stone are excited to bring our retirement living offering to Arnold, which will include shared ownership properties to exceed the council's requirements.' The block will contain 36 one-bed and 15 two-bed flats, 22 off-street parking spaces, including two disabled spaces, a communal lounge and a garden.

Acorn Energy Inc (ACFN) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Record Revenue and Strategic Uplift ...
Release Date: August 07, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Acorn Energy Inc (NASDAQ:ACFN) achieved record remote monitoring and control revenue in Q2 2025. The company reported a 55% year-over-year revenue growth to $3.5 million, driven by an 89% increase in hardware sales. Gross margin expanded to 75% from 73% in the previous year. Operating income increased by 257% to $947,000, and fully diluted EPS rose to $0.28 from $0.11 in Q2 2024. Acorn Energy Inc (NASDAQ:ACFN) successfully uplifted to the Nasdaq capital market, enhancing its visibility and positioning for future growth. Negative Points The residential market has been relatively flat over the past two quarters, impacting growth potential. The sales cycle for larger commercial and industrial opportunities is longer, making outcomes harder to predict. Monitoring revenue growth is dependent on the installation and activation of hardware, which can be delayed by customers. The company faces risks from potential disruptions to business operations and shifts in consumer demand. There is uncertainty in the demand response market due to grid operators not having a clear plan for demand response incentives. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with ACFN. Q: Can you provide more color on the pipeline for hardware deals, especially in light of the expected 20% growth over the next several years? A: Dan Loeb, CEO: We expect 20% average growth, but it's hard to project big contracts. We are in discussions with several OEMs and responding to RFPs, which gives us confidence in achieving this growth rate over the next 3 to 5 years. Q: With $4.1 million already recognized from the $5.4 million telecom contract, what is the outlook for the next two quarters? Are there new deals or contracts expected soon? A: Dan Loeb, CEO: The timing of new contracts is uncertain, but we are confident due to our industry leadership. The telecom contract's progress depends on the customer's installation pace, which affects our revenue recognition. Q: How do you see monitoring revenue growing in the next couple of years? A: Dan Loeb, CEO: Monitoring revenue should grow in tandem with hardware sales. Typically, hardware represents about 80% and monitoring 20% of initial sales, but they should align over time as installations catch up. Q: Can you discuss the current pipeline and opportunities, especially given the grid's reliability issues? A: Dan Loeb, CEO: The number of opportunities has increased compared to six months ago, with varied requests beyond generators. We are receiving more inbound calls and interest, although translating this into sales is uncertain. Q: Any updates on the demand response market, particularly with C Power's acquisition? A: Dan Loeb, CEO: Our partnership with C Power remains strong, but revenue from demand response is currently minimal. The grid operators need to improve their demand response plans, but we are well-positioned for future opportunities.

Who should pay for green retrofits to apartment buildings? Not tenants, report argues
Above guideline rent increases are the most 'regressive' way to fund green retrofits in rental housing, a new report from Ontario ACORN argues. The report from the tenant union spells out how some landlords have used above-guideline rent increases (AGIs) to pass the cost of climate-conscious upgrades on to tenants and make a profit. 'ACORN members agree these retrofits are needed and at a much greater scale. However, it shouldn't be low-income tenants paying the bill so we can achieve our climate goals,' the report says. The report looks at 16 applications to raise rents above the provincial maximum for rent-controlled units to cover the cost of energy and water conservation projects — including things like new boilers, windows and doors, lighting retrofits and common area renovations. In one case, an AGI application for one Toronto building was approved to cover nearly $77,000 for new toilets and breaker panels. But because the cost of water is built into the rent for most of its units, tenants aren't 'seeing any of the savings on the water bill,' said Stacey Semple, who lives in the building and is a tenant leader in ACORN's downtown Toronto chapter. The report outlines how AGIs, especially when applied repeatedly, can drastically increase rent costs over time. Thorncliffe Park tenants have withheld rent from landlord Starlight Investments since 2023. In Ontario, units occupied before Nov. 15, 2018, are rent-controlled, meaning for this year rent in those units can only be increased by 2.5 per cent (for 2026, the rent increase guideline is 2.1 per cent). However, the Residential Tenancies Act allows applications to the Landlord and Tenant Board for AGIs for a number of reasons, including covering the cost of energy and water conservation upgrades. Landlords can apply for AGIs for a maximum of 9 per cent over three years on top of the rental increase guideline. Increases are cumulative, so when an AGI is carried out over multiple years, the annual increase is based on the last year's rent rate, not the rate when the AGI was first granted — which Ricardo Tranjan, senior researcher with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, who had no involvement in the report, sees as a flaw. For example, on top of the 2.5 per cent increase allowed annually, a 9 per cent AGI spread over three years applied to a starting rent of $1,500 a month grows to $1761.40 a month at the end of the three years. Another flaw noted by Tranjan is that AGIs for capital expenditures have interest built in at the standard five-year mortgage rate to cover the upgrade's useful life. But that interest rate, 'may or may not be what (landlords were) charged themselves if they borrowed' to pay for the upgrades, he said. 'If you're charging more interest than you're paying yourself, you're keeping the change,' said Tranjan. 'It's is a pretty bad formula that benefits landlords instead of tenants.' It's not just a Toronto problem as rents have skyrocketed in cities outside the GTA, says the CCPA. Ontario ACORN, which advocates for an end to AGIs altogether, is calling on the province to make green retrofits ineligible for AGIs as well as require landlords to prove they aren't eligible for any rebates or funding in their AGI applications, according to the report. The report notes there are government programs to help fund green retrofits, but says there's low uptake by private landlords and a mismatch between what's offered and what tenants need. Because many tenants pay for utilities themselves, and thus pay the price for energy inefficiency, landlords don't have much incentive to apply for grants or low-cost financing to cover improvements when they could apply for an AGI instead, the report says. 'AGIs will always be seen as more attractive to corporate landlords because they're easy to approve and they make a huge profit,' said Jamie Gooch, a leader in the McWatters ACORN Tenant Union in Ottawa. In addition to ACORN's demands to ban AGIs, the union wants to see more funding for green retrofits in rental buildings from all levels of government. 'If private landlords won't pay for green retrofits, then the government should,' said Gooch.
