It’s been four years in the making but the first independent living unit resort titled Aura, by a new operator Livewell Communities, is 60% sold before its opens in Findon, 6.5km northwest of Adelaide.

Livewell Communities is the brainchild of Exquisite Now directors Charlie Way, former Director – Property and Business Development with Southern Cross Care (SA & NT) and Joe Trimboli, who has over 20 years of leadership and management experience.

“There is really nothing like Aura in Adelaide. It is a resort-style retirement village,” said Charlie. “We had supply issues with the build but it has been a really good run for the past six months.

“We have a massive wait list and I am pretty confident when we do open it will be as good as sold out.”

The first stage has 61 one-, two-, two plus study and three-bedroom apartments, ranging in price from $340,999 to about $600,000. The ground floor units have courtyards and all upper levels have balconies.
