“This app will be the ultimate, handy guide to village life – from detailing what’s on to tips for retirement living as well as providing the chance for residents to ask any questions.” – Glen Brown

WITH a surge in older Australians using smartphone technology to stay connected, the Gold Coast’s most luxurious and innovative new retirement community – Esperance at Hope Island – is leading the charge. An exclusive, fully-integrated community app is another way the groundbreaking Reside Communities’ project is catering for a new generation of downsizers.

Esperance it set to transform a disused canal-front site on Hope Island into a deluxe waterfront village with the first stage already 40 per cent sold.

Reside Communities chief executive Glen Brown said with construction of Esperance now under way, future residents of Esperance would have all the latest news of its progress, resident events and much more literally at their fingertips.

“The timing couldn’t be better,” Mr Brown said.

“Along with keeping our residents engaged throughout construction, we anticipate the app will also assist in the establishment of a virtual community and communication platform for residents during this phase.

“One of the key advantages of modern retirement villages such as Esperance is that residents have vastly more opportunities to connect with like-minded people.

“That’s where we see technology like this coming into its own.

“This app will be the ultimate, handy guide to village life – from detailing what’s on to tips for retirement living as well as providing the chance for residents to ask any questions they may have.’’

Resonating strongly with local downsizers, Esperance’s first-stage Esprit features 76 apartments ranging from spacious two-bedroom, twobathroom homes to stunning three-bedroom penthouses with sweeping views.
