NEARLY 100 VIP guests gathered at Tiffany’s Maleny on Thursday 31 July for an exclusive event marking an exciting new chapter in retirement living in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
The event provided a first glimpse of Reside Communities’ plans for the modern revitalisation of Maleny Grove, an established and much-loved retirement community.
Guests enjoyed an engaging afternoon hosted by award-winning journalist and Reside Communities Ambassador, Kay McGrath, who also led a relaxed panel discussion with Reside CEO Glen Brown and COO Craig Syphers.
Kay, a long-time advocate for positive ageing, took time to chat with attendees, bringing warmth, professionalism, and her signature Queensland charm to the occasion.
“We were thrilled to see so much interest in the next stage of Maleny Grove,” Mr Brown said.
“It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the local community and share our vision. Kay’s presence added a real sense of occasion – her connection to Queenslanders truly resonated with our guests.”
Reside acquired Maleny Grove in 2024 and is now embarking on a major expansion. The community will grow from 28 to 94 architecturally designed two and three-bedroom villas, with Stage 1 prices ranging from $825,000 to $1.4 million.
At the heart of the community will be The Lodge – a five-star clubhouse offering a suite of premium amenities including a heated indoor pool, fully equipped gym, on-site café, library, and a hair and beauty salon.
These facilities are designed to support wellbeing, connection, and a vibrant lifestyle, just moments from each resident’s front door.
Guests at the event enjoyed a preview of these new amenities, early access to Stage 1 villa releases, and the opportunity to secure a home with a low, fully refundable deposit.
They also heard insights from the experienced team behind Reside’s award-winning retirement communities.
Set on 5.7 hectares of landscaped gardens, Maleny Grove offers spectacular views, fresh mountain air, and the convenience of being just minutes from the town centre, shops, health services, cafés, and scenic walking trails.
At the heart of a thriving arts and culture scene, with galleries, artisan markets, and community events like Arts Alive Maleny offering opportunities for creativity and connection.
With interest already strong, Mr Brown encouraged potential residents to act quickly. The transformation is expected to be complete by 2027.
