Paradigm Shift

With its focus on active ageing and lifelong care, The Aspen Tree at The Forestias is redefining how one can invest in their silver years

Our conversations around ageing are shifting. Barely two decades ago, retirement planning and legacy planning were almost taboo—people would usually avoid these topics among themselves, let alone bring them up with their children. This attitude has shifted towards one that prioritises a healthier, happier retirement in one’s silver years.

The next logical progression is to extend the runway forward. One can prepare for retirement well before approaching retirement age, then actively manage its different aspects in order to maximise their quality of life. The Aspen Tree The Forestias, a property development by Magnolia Quality Development Corporation (MQDC), seeks to enable this approach as a lifestyle concept that offers a holistic view on ageing.

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH

Located just a short drive from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, The Aspen Tree is part of The Forestias, a massive project that spans some 118 acres and comes complete with its own man‑made forest. Other property concepts that comprise The Forestias include condominiums and high‑end villas as well as office and retail spaces, making this a mixed‑use, multigenerational development.

Within The Forestias, The Aspen Tree has a niche focused on active ageing and retirement. Its 290 units are split between apartments spread across three Active Living Condominiums and larger homes within two Sky Villa Residences.

Even as residents luxuriate in nature at The Aspen Tree, amenities and services remain at hand for comfort and convenience.
