Stockland has officially opened the doors of the very first display apartments at their $63 million vertical retirement village, Birtinya, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

The open-plan apartments were designed to make the best use of extensive natural light, eye-catching timber elements and spacious balconies to capture ocean breezes and unrivalled views.

Additionally, as every apartment is styled with the latest trends in homewares and accessories, those inspecting will find quality brand appliances, air conditioning, and access to superfast broadband internet, as standard in the residential spaces.

Birtinya Retirement Village is an eight-storey vertical village in the heart of the Sunshine Coast’s fast-growing Oceanside Kawana precinct. It includes secure undercover resident parking with each apartment and guest parking, manicured gardens, a two-storey clubhouse, and wellness centre with a gym, yoga studio, hair salon, bar lounge, billiards room and resort pool.

The wellness centre will even host an on-site allied health professional, available to give residents access to health education sessions, exercise programs and a range of group fitness classes without leaving the village complex.

Due for completion in mid-2018, Birtinya Retirement Village provides a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with views of Lake Kawana and the Glasshouse Mountains hinterland.

The village is pet friendly, with a dog park to be constructed nearby. It is a short walk to Bokarina Beach, hospitals, the Ocean side Health Precinct and the future Birtinya Town Centre.

Stockland recently announced it had received planning approvals for the town centre, which will include a shopping centre, service station, entertainment precinct, hotel, apartments, drive-through restaurants, a town square with green space, and a walkable waterfront along Lake Kawana.
