Mirroring Aveos 2015 marketing proposition The Aveo Way, Stockland has now introduced their value proposition to Retire Your Way which acknowledges the role of care in retirement villages. Retirement Living CEO, Stephen Bull, states Our strategy to increasingly offer a continuum of care, enabling more residents to age in place has been well received. Stockland now has five sites that are either under contract or agreed for sale to Opal Aged Care.
The architect of The Aveo way, Alison Quinn, will be speaking at our LEADERS SUMMIT 10-11 March in Sydney. Check the program HERE.
