This is another construction company with an
interest in retirement villages and the luxury
market. It was acquired by Macquarie
Bank.
Formed in 1989 Retirement Services Australia was the retirement village vehicle for Melbourne property developer Clinton Casey. His forte was luxury resorts. His approach to retirement targeted the wealthy and the active with luxury in mind. In 2005 the Victorian company went through the process of planning a public listing with Macquarie bank as adviser. It planned an alliance with Macquarie with plans to grow nationally. Ten months later it was acquired by Macquarie bank.
EMBATTLED Richmond Tigers boss Clinton Casey is the face behind a $60 million redevelopment of a landmark Surf Coast caravan park.

---------------------
The caravan park is another asset in Mr Casey's property portfolio. He is chairman of the Links Group, which has developed the projects at Sanctuary Lakes resort at Point Cook and Sandhurst Club at Skye in Melbourne's southwest at $800 million each. Mr Casey is also chairman of retirement accommodation developer and management company Retirement Services Australia.

NOT just a room with a view, but possibly the most exclusive retirement complex in Melbourne is being built in Toorak Village.
Sep 2004 Luxury retirement
Three-bedroom units in the over-55s only Toorak Place complex start at a cool $1.45 million, two-bedroom homes cost upwards of $740,000 and the single-bedrooms $460,000.
Those wanting a home at the elite address must also fork out about $400 a month in a weekly service fee to pay for the on-site manager, reception staff, security and other expenses.
And extra services, including meals, cleaning, laundry, handyman jobs and personal care will be on offer at a moment's notice -- but at a cost.
But the developers insist buyers will not regret the expense.
As well as 54 luxury apartments, the complex, managed by Retirement Services Australia, will have a health and fitness centre, 13 shops and 30 offices.
------------------------
Many of Melbourne's former business and industry leaders who no longer wanted to worry about the upkeep of a sprawling property, were expected to snap up apartments.

For Updates:- A good way to check for recent developments in aged care is to go to the aged care crisis group's search page and enter the name of the company, nursing home or key words relating to any other matter in the search box. Most significant press reports are flagged there. The aged care crisis web site has recently been restructured and some of the older links used from this site may not work.
