Combining our expertise, strength, and abilities to meet the requirements of this growing but vital segment, Serene Amara by Columbia Pacific will appeal to seniors with an appreciation for a healthier lifestyle and thriving community in the privacy of their own home. We wanted a specialist partner who would provide an enriching experience for our seniors; in CPC, we found the ideal collaborator. Embassy Group's brand promise has been to deliver high-quality, future-first, and enhanced living spaces to all age groups, from co-living for millennials to branded and luxury homes, and now we foray into senior living. With the launch of Serene Amara by Columbia Pacific, we have taken our first step towards building communities that will stand apart, making the golden years for our seniors dignified, joyful, and fulfilling.”
Veteran actress Ratna Pathak Shah, who honoured the project's launch event with her timeless grace, said, “I congratulate Columbia Pacific Communities and Embassy Group for building a community for senior residents where they can look forward to living and interacting with like-minded peers and enjoy an active and peaceful life. The idea of positive ageing should not be limited solely to health and well-being, but should also encourage the enthusiastic participation of senior citizens in society so they feel cared, valued, and listened to. I am glad that these two distinguished brands are taking steps in the right direction to create an environment that encourages people of my age to remain physically fit, mentally alert, and emotionally stimulated.”
The community will offer a packed calendar of resident engagement events, including book readings, yoga and mindfulness sessions, drumming sessions, pottery and storytelling workshops, and more. These activities, designed around the six pillars of positive ageing, help residents stay healthier for longer.
