Love the way you live at Seachange Riverside Coomera

by

At Seachange we believe that active people are happy and healthy people, and a true sea change is not just changing where you live, but how you live. It should be in first-class facilities that allow you to continue enjoying the fruits of friendships, the benefits of community and a healthy active lifestyle.

Seachange Riverside Coomera, the Gold Coast’s newest riverfront resort designed for over 50s, offers residents a community and style of active living that alleviates those typical doubts that people may have when making the decision to change or downsize their home – starting from $439,000.

A day in the life at the resort demonstrates the benefits that downsizing offers. From low-maintenance homes to being among like-minded people who want to preserve the routines that shape their daily lives and remain engaged.

The financial and emotional costs associated with any change are an obvious consideration, so in addition to delivering stunning architecturally designed homes, Seachange has become renowned for nourishing physical, spiritual and social needs.

Seachange Riverside Coomera features a 5-star Country Club and River House that offer a collection of premium resort facilities on your doorstep, all for the exclusive use of residents and their guests.

To nourish the mind, we incorporated a library, arts and craft studio and workshop so you can continue to develop your life skills and hobbies. To nourish the body, we incorporated the best sporting facilities including twin pickleball courts, bowls green, indoor and outdoor pools and gym so you can keep fit and fabulous. And to nourish the soul, we have designed beautiful community spaces where you and your friends can come together to share and create memories.

Resort to a Sea Change

Pradella has swapped terms such as “retirement living” for “lifestyle resorts”, in a bid to more accurately reflect their latest offering for the over-50s’ markets.

Pradella Director of Sales and Marketing Alex McMahon said with more than five million Australians expected to be aged 65 or over by 2025, they were taking the opportunity to change the face of the retirement sector.

Mr McMahon said the company was expanding its range of residential projects with the release of architecturally designed homes in prime locations for the exclusive use of over 50s.

“We brought this approach to our Upper Coomera and Toowoomba projects and made modifications to the masterplans to create designs that will grow with the community and help create a truly better place to live,” he said.

“Today’s Baby Boomers have high expectations for their retirement lifestyle, so location and design of the home are both vitally important.

“As a developer of over 50s communities our focus weighs heavily on these aspects, it’s why we invest a lot of time into researching market trends, finding the right sites, developing masterplans and creating homes that respond to the needs of modern seniors.”

Mr McMahon said with stage one already completed at Seachange Riverside Coomera, stage two had now been released to potential buyers.

“First homes have settled with residents moving in from April 2018,” he said, “The river house with a pool, bocce court, yoga studio, library, barbecue, kitchen and bar is due for completion on October 31,” he said.

“The country club is due for completion in November 2019.”

Seachange, it’s not just about where you live, but how you live

by

Most often, a seachange describes the move from a city in favour of a better life in a coastal community. The release of the first stage of Seachange Lifestyle Resort Toowoomba, has left many locals wondering how they can have a seachange whilst remaining in the beautiful Darling Downs region.

Pradella Property Ventures, the company currently developing the new Seachange Toowoomba Resort on Hampton Street, have taken this inherent concept of a change for the better and shaped it into a core philosophy. A true seachange is not just changing where you live, but how you live.

“You don’t need to move to a coastal location to enjoy a better lifestyle” says Director of Sales and Marketing for Seachange Alex McMahon. “It’s about enjoying an easier life, where you have the opportunity to reward yourself for a lifetime of hard work.”

Seachange Toowoomba will be the fourth Lifestyle Resort to be built by Pradella Property Ventures and like each of their existing award winning projects, it will feature a 5-star Country Club and recreational facilities that have been design to nourish the mind, body and soul.

To nourish the mind, they have incorporated a library, arts and craft studio and workshop so you can continue to develop your life skills and hobbies. To nourish the body, there will be the best sporting facilities including bowls green, tennis court, indoor and outdoor heated pools and gym so you can keep fit and fabulous. To nourish the soul, they have designed beautiful community spaces where you and your friends can come together to share and create memories. In addition to the resorts facilities residents enjoy the peace of mind that comes from living in a securely gated estate.

Stage 1 of Seachange Toowoomba is now under construction, the first homes ready to settle in October this year. The Summer house facility with swimming pool, tennis court, BBQ and entertaining facilities is also under construction and will be completed prior to the first residents moving in.

The resort’s sales office is open Monday-Saturday from 9am-5pm for those who want to learn more. Call 1800 546 655 to arrange a time to visit.

Prioritising the construction of this important feature of the resort before any individual homes, speaks volumes of Seachange’s commitment to building a true community.

“We want to ensure that the day that our first residents move in they will be able to take advantage of this wonderful facility. In just a few short months this building will become a vibrant hub of activity, a place where people can come together to enjoy the company of like-minded neighbours and new friends.” Says Director of Sales and Marketing, Alex McMahon.

Once finished, the Summer House will feature a tennis court, heated swimming pool, barbecue facilities, fire pit, and outdoor decking.
