Construction is underway at The Retreat of Alameda in Phoenix, AZ. The senior living facility, developed by Astoria Healthcare Properties, is the first senior living facility project for the Leawood, KS-based company.
The Weitz Company, the general contractor of the project, broke ground with Astoria last week in northern Phoenix at 1920 W. Alameda Rd.,
“Adding senior living as a product type is a natural extension for us beyond ambulatory surgery centers, surgical specialty hospitals and medical office buildings. Our expertise is developing healthcare facilities with the goal of providing higher quality care at a lower cost," said John Foudray, Astoria Healthcare CEO.
The assisted living and memory care facility consists of approximately 98,000 SF with 72 apartments for assisted living, and 38 memory care apartments in a separate, secured setting.
“Weitz is excited continue its partnership with Astoria Healthcare Properties as the general contractor of The Retreat at Alameda,” said Kimberly Davids, The Weitz Company general manager.
Joining Astoria general contractor, and The Weitz Company on the project, is triARC Design.
Amenities include a full kitchen and private dining room with wood slat ceilings, contemporary café/pub, a theater, therapy room, fitness center, salon/barber, multi- activity room, lounge and outdoor courtyards. A looped walking path is connected to a central outdoor atrium, giving residents the opportunity to be outdoors. The entire facility will be steel-framed and have an emergency generator system.
The Retreat at Alameda will be managed by Paradigm Senior Living, a national provider of management services to the senior housing industry.
