Living Choice Fullarton retirement village on former Julia Farr site in hot demand Sue and Patrick Pearce are the 100th deposit holders at the new multi million dollar retirement village on the old Julia Farr site. APARTMENTS at Fullarton's new luxury retirement village are in hot demand, with 100 of the 142 apartments already sold. Living Choice, which has developed the former Julia Farr site, said that the apartment sales were "beyond all expectations." "It's phenomenal that we've already sold 70 per cent of the apartments and now we have a waiting list for some types of apartments," Living Choice managing director Ian Tregoning said. Construction of the $112 million, six-storey retirement village started in September and is due to be completed in 2014. The 1ha Fisher St site will include 142 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, ranging in price from $470,000 to $1.5 million. Sue Pearce, 68, and her husband Patrick, 78, put a deposit on the 100th apartment sold last week. With a bowling green, indoor heated pool, a movie theatre, gym and hair and beauty salon at the village, Mrs Pearce said she was looking forward to a more relaxed lifestyle. "It's really a lifestyle choice," Mrs Pearce said. We've had everything planned for our future and then my husband had a stroke and cardiac arrest and because we run our own business it's getting harder to maintain a big house. I can see myself already just sitting out on a balcony soaking in the sun. The original building on the site was abandoned 28 years ago amid concerns about asbestos. Residents-to-be are expected to move into the village in late 2014.
