Project Description
The Project calls for the construction of a new 237-unit market rate, 16-story residential building and a new 7-story, 94-unit income-restricted midrise building for seniors joined by a shared podium. The Proposed Project will contain approximately 326,000 square feet of gross floor area, including approximately 11,710 square feet of ground-floor retail / commercial space and 88 below-grade parking spaces. The senior mid-rise building will have dedicated amenities and services common to service-enriched senior housing as well as full access to shared amenities within the planned community, such as a gym, social activities, retail services, and newly created open space. The programming will include supportive services to enhance the resident experience and quality of life and to maintain independent living as they age. Rogerson Communities has agreed to be the services partner for the Project and will bring its very thorough program of services coordination and dedicated and community-based services to this senior community.
