Ancora: Italian for anchor. A symbol of stability, steadfastness, security and sensibility, the anchor demonstrates a strong connection to one’s values, the start of a new journey, and a sense of constancy, even in changing times.

That meaning became the catalyst for this project, anchoring the brand in a clear idea. The vision of Melbourne luminaries John and Carol Knowles, of The Knowles Group, Ancora was set to elevate retirement living to a sumptuous new level by combining the luxury of a five-star resort with the convenience and amenity of an exclusive retirement community in the heart of Victoria’s iconic Mornington Peninsula.

The team behind Penzo were swept away in this vision, creating a brand worthy of epitomising carefree retirement living.
