Retirement Theme Parks

Zest Communities Plans to Bring Seniors an Active Retirement Plan

— April 24, 2018 — Life-Stages
Hamilton property developer Zest Communities aims to give active retirement plans a new meaning with a theme park specifically built for Seniors. The idea originates from the president of the company Tony DiFruscio who is "a confessed Disney-holic." The project will be an upgrade to an already existing retirement facility -- St. Elizabeth Village. Zest Communities will ensure that the activities will stimulate Seniors as they have proven to be more active than their parents. From gold and yoga to picketball, wining and dining, the active retirement plan will prove to be engaging and fun for the older community.

With a message of "Once you're over the hill, you start to pick up speed" and the cheeky imagery of a silver-head woman on a Vespa, St. Elizabeth Village will definitely become a must-go place for those seeking an active retirement plan.
Trend Themes
1. Senior Theme Parks - The rise of themed retirement living inspired by amusement parks around the world will enable seniors to get the most out of their retirement.
2. Active Retirement Plans - The trend towards seniors being more active in their retirement and seeking out unique experiences will continue to drive the development of specialized retirement facilities.
3. Multigenerational Retirement Facilities - Retirement facilities offering opportunities to involve family members and activities to appeal to all age groups will be on the rise as people are living longer and want to enjoy retirement together.
Industry Implications
1. Senior Living & Healthcare - Entrepreneurs and businesses who can develop innovative and engaging senior living communities will have a growing market in the aging population.
2. Hospitality & Tourism - The hospitality and tourism industries may increase its offering to cater to seniors seeking unique experiences and actively living in retirement.
3. Real Estate Development - Real estate developers can take advantage of the growing demand for senior living and create unique retirement communities that cater to the active lifestyles of seniors.
