Demolition works on the existing structure has already started with fencing erected and demolition machinery moving in.

Proda director Ben Fuller said strong sales results had prompted earlier than expected construction activity. “With the project 3 1/2 years in the making, this is a monumental moment for us as construction wasn’t scheduled to commence until February next year. We anticipate the completion of construction for February 2012.”

Tweed Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) chief executive officer Tom Senti, said the Serene Living development will breathe new life into the Tweed CBD. “Once completed Serene Living will be a welcome addition to the mix of high standard new development projects in Tweed and is sure to answer demand for a booming retiree market.”

Serene Living sales manager Gregg Taylor, said the development had experienced an extremely high level of interest due to a winning combination of location and lifestyle. “We believe the continual sales run is a testament to the unique lifestyle that Serene Living provides and the demand in the marketplace for a development offering a luxurious resort inspired lifestyle in one of the most idyllic locations on the Tweed,” he said.

Construction starts early on Serene Living.Construction on Proda’s $46 million luxury over 55’s resort Serene Living at Tweed has commenced three months ahead of schedule.

More than 100 members of the Tweed community gathered to show their support to celebrate the official launch of Serene Living. Distinguished guests including Tweed Mayor Kevin Skinner along with State Member for Tweed, Geoff Provest, officially launched the development declaring Serene Living a complete success.

Proda Director Ben Fuller said that he was overwhelmed by the support of the community and Council, and looked back over the history of the development which was 3 1/2 years in the making. “We feel privileged to have met so many wonderful people who have really brought Serene Living to life and we are thankful to everyone who has helped us grow,” he said.

No Surprises, budget accurately.

Instead of doing chores, get in the pool.

Serene Living launch.A sweet success.

Unlike living in a house or normal unit, you will not be surprised by unforeseen charges. If something the operator provides breaks down, it’s not your responsibility or cost.

Serene Living maintains and replaces it all when required. The weekly fees at Serene Living are only $106, including maintenance and council rates (locked into CPI). Apart from your personal bills this is all you need to pay.

Gary and Julie are a couple in their mid fifties, proud grandparents and both still in the work force. The pool, spa, cinema and gym are high on their list of favourites when they move into Serene Living.

Currently living in a large home 5 km from the local CBD, Gary and Julie work long hours and get home tired, eat dinner, then all they have time for is TV to finish their day. Mowing lawns and other household chores occupy much of the weekend. At the moment going for a swim or a show in Coolangatta means the use of a car plus travel time.

At Serene Living, all this is at your doorstep. Gary says “I look forward to a whole new way of life. Instead of fixing the gutters I’ll be in the pool or the gym. We’ll stroll down to Twin Towns for a show or walk across the road to the Bowling Club for a top class dinner.” Then he added “Plus the weekly contribution at ‘Serene’ is less than half the cost of my house upkeep! In our situation it makes so much sense.”

Understanding the essential elements of community, amenity and desirability.

Marchese + Partners Architects.

Stewart Dean, Director of Marchese + Partners says “Serene Living is a contemporary and timeless design which fits well into its surrounds. The façades to the building are inviting and open. This, teamed with the innovative rooftop garden, will provide the residents with an exclusive and inspiring development.” “Marchese are extremely proud of our work on Serene Living. We know that it is an exceptional building that will be enjoyed by residents, their friends and family” says Stewart.

With more than 40 years involvement in Over 55’s and the retirement industry, plus a weekly talk show on 4CRB, Mr Manning speaks with some authority and is genuinely excited about what Serene offers. “New developments like Serene Living present the perfect lifestyle for over 55’s with all the vital ingredients to ensure an enriched lifestyle and a new age of enjoyment,” said Mr Manning.

Stan Manning says he has seen the way people’s lives have been greatly enriched by choosing to move into an over 55’s apartment lifestyle. He understands that the decision to downsize and move from the family home can be quite difficult but he notes that it is common for those who have made the move to say “I should have made the change much earlier and had more time to enjoy all of the benefits & freedom of my new lifestyle.”

There are many things to consider when making the move into Serene Living; there are financial, physical

and social benefits that an existing home simply cannot compete with. Residents will save on weekly expenses while maintaining an active and social lifestyle and become a part of a supportive community in a safe, planned environment. Positive ageing through recreation, activity, and ongoing engagement is vital to the achievement of long term wellbeing.

Stan suggests that if you want some detailed answers to Over 55’s living ensure you read the Serene Living Green Book. “It is a complete compendium of the what, when, where, why and how of Over 55’s living. The ‘Green Book’ was designed to fill in the gaps and focus on what Over 55’s living is all about.” It is something you could keep on file, refer back to, or maybe share with friends who are also thinking of this unique lifestyle.
