What It Means to Be a Depositor

December 11, 2025

Becoming a Depositor is the first step in securing not only your new home, but also the lifestyle, amenities, and community you’ve envisioned for your future. Choosing where to live in the next phase of your life is one of the most significant decisions you’ll make—and at Mullen Residences, we honor that choice by making the journey exciting, empowering, and deeply personal.

What Is a Depositor?

A Depositor is someone who has taken the first step toward residency by placing a fully refundable deposit to reserve their spot in our upcoming independent living community. This gives you early access to everything that makes Mullen Residences unique—before doors even open. It also provides priority choice and the peace of mind that your next home is secured. Your deposit is fully refundable, giving you complete flexibility while still securing your place. Becoming a depositor isn’t simply a transaction. This is your opportunity to help build this community from the ground up.

What Does it Mean to be a Founding Resident?

This is more than a home, it’s an opportunity to be part of something from the beginning. As a founding resident, you’ll have an unique opportunity to help shape a community designed around your lifestyle.

Your next chapter begins here. After a lifetime of achievements and meaningful moments, you deserve a community that honors your journey and provides the setting for your next chapter.

To celebrate the visionaries who join us early, we’ve created three tiers of exclusive benefits—Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Each tier offers meaningful advantages designed to make your move easier, enhance your lifestyle, and recognize your role in shaping the community.

Becoming a Founding Resident is more than receiving benefits—it’s about helping create a thriving, connected, purposeful community. Your ideas, your experiences, and your vision help guide everything from programs and events to amenities and culture.

Priority Location and Floor Plan Selection

As a Depositor, you receive priority selection of available floor plans and locations within the building—an enormous benefit in crafting the lifestyle you want.
You can choose:

  • A scenic view that inspires you
  • A specific floor that matches your preferences
  • A floor plan tailored to your needs, whether cozy, spacious, or somewhere in between
  • Proximity to elevators, dining, outdoor spaces, or activity areas depending on what suits your lifestyle

Because deposits are accepted before the community fills, Depositors enjoy the most options and the easiest time customizing their future home.

The Benefits of Becoming a Depositor in a Pre-Leasing Environment

Becoming a Depositor is more than securing a residence—it’s choosing to invest in yourself and the life you want to live moving forward. Through the pre-leasing process, you can plan ahead so your family doesn’t have to, taking more control over decisions, enhanced wellness and independence, and join a community built on connection, respect, and purpose. As a Depositor, you’re freeing yourself from the burdens of home maintenance while opening the door to new friendships, hobbies, and opportunities. Many people find that participating in the pre-leasing process provides clarity and confidence about their future plans.

Benefits of Reserving Now, Move in Later

Through the pre-leasing process, you can plan ahead, take control of your wellness, and start building connections with your future community. Reserving your home early takes this a step further, giving you the time to thoughtfully downsize, organize your finances, and prepare for a smooth move on your own timeline.

Becoming a Depositor at Mullen Residences also allows you to meet fellow future neighbors and the Mullen team at exclusive pre-opening events, creating a sense of belonging before you even move in. By reserving now, you gain priority choice of your home, a personalized move-in experience, and the confidence that comes from being fully prepared. Choosing Mullen Residences—and becoming a Depositor—is more than a move; it’s a thoughtful, life-enhancing step toward the lifestyle you deserve.
