Redefining luxury retirement living on the Gold Coast

A unique vertical retirement village overlooking Burleigh Golf Club’s 10th tee reflects the rising expectations of the modern over 65s.

Everything you’re hoping for in retirement
Enjoy an unprecedented lifestyle at The Verge at Burleigh Golf Club, overlooking the 10th tee of the Burleigh Golf Course and just minutes to the beach and all that the Gold Coast has to offer.

A hop, skip and a putt from some of Australia’s top beaches, the Gold Coast’s best dining experiences, shopping and entertainment hubs, residents will enjoy an enviable lifestyle.

Spacious and beautifully appointed 1, 2 and 3 bedroom independent living apartments have been thoughtfully designed for today’s generation of vibrant and independent over 65’s.

Offering an elevated and private position with secure access, you’ll have the freedom to lock up and leave without a worry. When you’re home, enjoy first-class retirement facilities with friends, family and like-minded neighbours within a safe and connected community.

“A collaboration between RetireAustralia and Burleigh Golf Club, The Verge at Burleigh G.C. is the first of its kind on the Gold Coast and represents a new dimension in active retirement living,” said RetireAustralia Chief Executive Officer Dr Brett Robinson.

“Planned down to the last detail to provide the perfect lifestyle for retirees, it has been specially designed to allow residents to live life to the full and discover a new sense of health and wellbeing in one of Australia’s most sought after locations,” Dr Robinson said.
“Along with all the benefits of its golf course location and the beautiful surroundings, The Verge will feature an outstanding range of exclusive facilities with everything residents need right on their doorstep,” he said.

“Over 65s shouldn’t have to compromise in their retirement years and at The Verge they can have luxury living, beautiful views, a coastal lifestyle and a range of care services when and if they need it,” Dr. Robinson said.

The Verge has been designed to offer active retirees a community that encourages positive ageing. The Verge offers many benefits over standard apartment living because it has been specifically designed to allow residents to live independently for longer.

The vertical retirement village will offer stylish, pet-friendly, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with spacious balconies, open-plan living and floor-to-ceiling windows with expansive views from every angle. Many apartments have stunning uninterrupted views of the golf course, all with direct access to the Burleigh Golf Course Club House.

Safety & security at the core
As Australians have adapted to the “stay at home” lifestyle the COVID-19 pandemic has enforced on us, RetireAustralia’s long-standing commitment to the health and wellbeing of its retirement village residents is shining through.

Dr Brett Robinson said that just as the safety of current residents and staff was the top priority, new villages were at the leading edge of design to maximise residents’ social connection, safety and overall sense of security.

“Every aspect of The Verge at Burleigh G.C. exemplifies that ethos,’’ said Dr Robinson. “The Gold Coast’s latest vertical retirement village has been specially designed to enhance the wellbeing of its residents and provide the peace of mind that comes with living in a safe, secure and friendly environment.”

“Our research shows that social connection matters, especially as we age. Not only does it delay health problems related to ageing, but it provides us with happiness, security, support and a sense of purpose.

Feeling secure is one of the key benefits of retirement village living, and The Verge – with its unique vertical design – takes this to a new level, literally.’’

“Creating a safe, secure community with access to all the support you need to live a fulfilling, independent lifestyle is at the core of our new village design and is on display at The Verge, where everything has been planned to the last detail,’’ Dr Robinson said.

The six-storey apartments set to redefine retirement living.

Where modern comfort meets modern care
Each apartment at The Verge has been thoughtfully designed to offer a low-maintenance lifestyle with age-friendly layouts to suit changing needs.

This includes a range of features under the Livable Housing Australia standard such as wider corridors and doorways, step-free shower recesses and reinforced bathroom walls allowing for the safe installation of grab rails in the future.

Residents will also be able to access a range of flexible, tailored care services, including personal and clinical care, delivered in their home, in the way they want.

The Verge’s care team will offer help with household chores, meal preparation, showering, dressing and medication support for instance. Care is tailored to your needs and funded privately or through access to an approved government-funded Home Care Package. RetireAustralia can assist residents in navigating the application process to secure funding they are entitled to.

First-class facilities in the village will also include a Wellness Hub and consultation rooms for allied health professionals, along with easy access to tailored exercise programs and a state-of-the-art gym.

The apartments make the most of the golf course views.

A connected community
Upon completion, residents will be able to enjoy first-class multi-purpose recreation facilities surrounded by friends, family and like-minded neighbours.

You will be able to start the day with a game of golf, a walk on the beach or some exercise at the Wellness Hub, followed by coffee with neighbours at the residents’ bar and café. You can spend the day doing whatever you fancy from all that the Gold Coast has to offer and then watch the sun go down from the spectacular rooftop terrace while entertaining friends and family over a barbeque. For non-golfers and golfers alike, the course is the perfect place to relax, enjoy daily walks and watch the world go by.

The clubhouse facilities – including a restaurant, bar and deck overlooking the course – are within easy strolling distance and will complement The Verge’s wide range of recreational spaces and increase opportunities for socialising and relaxing.

The trend towards luxury downsizing into vertical retirement living heralds an exciting new choice for today’s retirees, allowing them to pursue a positive and active lifestyle while remaining connected to neighbourhoods they know and love.

Financial certainty & peace of mind
The Verge contract is specifically designed to increase financial certainty for retirees by giving clarity, certainty and confidence at every stage.

“Moving into a retirement village is a big decision and retirees might feel concerned about affordability and hidden costs,” said Dr Brett Robinson.

“It’s important to us that retirees and their family members have peace of mind from the very beginning. That’s why our sales contract for The Verge offers a simplified financial process and a high level of financial clarity at every stage,’’ Dr Robinson said.

“We specify, upfront, what the costs are, and what they cover. So residents know exactly what they will need to pay for the duration of their stay at The Verge. The monthly service fees will be charged on a cost-recovery basis only and cannot be increased more than the Consumer Price Index without the approval of village residents.

“From the day residents move in, they will know the outgoing payment they will receive. In uncertain times, many people find it comforting to know where they stand financially. ”
