Mayor Jamieson to officially open The Avenue Maroochydore retirement community

Aura Holdings is pleased to announce the official opening of its brand new retirement community, The Avenue Maroochydore, located at 32 Baden Powell Street, Maroochydore.

For many years, retirees on the Sunshine Coast have been seeking quality retirement living options close to the heart of Maroochydore, in the area they know and love.

This style of retirement living has been in short supply, leaving retirees no choice, but to compromise or consider moving out of the area they’ve lived in for decades, further away from family and friends.

Recent market research suggests that this will only become a larger issue. The population of over 65-year-olds on the Sunshine Coast is projected to increase substantially by 2026, resulting in a shortage of more than 1,200 independent living units in the area.

The Avenue Maroochydore addresses this gap and is attracting many retirees to its open plan two and three bedroom apartments in the sought after location.

The community will be officially opened by Sunshine Coast Mayor, Mark Jamieson, and 300 guests at the Grand Opening event on Wednesday 24 July.

Designed by award-winning O’Neill Architecture and built by local construction company, Woollam Constructions, The Avenue Maroochydore incorporates beautiful design, carefully considered floor plans and age appropriate features to showcase the latest in high quality retirement living.

New resident, Barrie Smith said, “It’s great to wake up every morning as a resident of The Avenue Maroochydore. You don’t notice how many design considerations have been included to make life easier for us seniors until you suddenly realise that you aren’t bending down to reach the back of the cupboard or stepping over shower ledges. Having home care services available at our fingertips also gives us peace of mind knowing we can easily access additional support in the future without having to leave our home.”

The new community is also home to state-of-the-art facilities including a wine room, gym, internal courtyard with outdoor BBQ area and billiards room and bar, while still encouraging residents to make the most of local amenities like bowling greens, golf clubs, yoga studios and cinemas.

Mandy Julian, Village Manager, is particularly excited by the connection The Avenue Maroochydore has to the broader community.

“I love the connection The Avenue Maroochydore has to the local community. Too often, retirement communities become exclusive enclaves with resident activity contained within the village.

Here we are creating an integrated community where seniors can thrive in their retirement and really enjoy the local amenity,” said Mandy Julian.

Apartments at The Avenue Maroochydore retirement community are selling quickly from $445,000 – $795,000*. To book a personalised tour with the sales team, email [email protected] or contact 07 5479 6482.
