KIRKWOOD, MO. — Paric has been selected as the general contractor for Aberdeen Heights Senior Living Community, a new independent and assisted living senior facility located in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood. The $179 million project will be located on 17 acres at the former St. Joseph Hospital campus. It will contain 243 independent living apartments, 30 assisted living apartments, 15 memory-support apartments and a health center that will contain 34 private skilled nursing rooms and four semi-private skilled nursing rooms.
Amenities at the project will include restaurant-style dining, a fitness center with an indoor pool, a creative arts area, a media room and a clubroom. Construction of the community will begin in May, following demolition and abatement of the existing hospital campus, which is being completed by Environmental Operations, Inc. Move-ins for the independent living units will begin in September 2011, with the rest of the project being completed later that year.
The owner and operator of Aberdeen Heights is a joint venture between Ashfield Active Living and Wellness Communities, Inc. Greystone Communities will serve as development consultant. Assisting Paric in the construction of the facility will be Wauwatosa, Wis.-based AG Architecture.
