Ashraya: Senior citizens retreat

Koteshwar is a prime location, featuring a developing riverfront to the south and the Koteshwar Mahadev temple to its east. This makes it an ideal setting for a residential community tailored to older individuals, particularly retirees aged 55 and above. Considering the scarcity of dedicated spaces for seniors in Ahmedabad and a lack of specifically designed senior citizens’ retreats, such a community would promote harmony and cultivate meaningful friendships among seniors who may have previously experienced isolation.
