Smith Senior Living has broken ground on an expansion project at Smith Village, a continuing care retirement community in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood. The project will modernize the community’s Johanson Wing, which offers short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing care and therapy rooms. The expansion will feature a three-story, 10,204-square-foot structure upon completion. Construction will actually reduce the number of licensed beds in Johanson Wing from 100 to 78, as most double-occupancy rooms will be replaced by private suites. Development costs for the project are estimated at $22.3 million. development1

Erickson Living has unveiled plans for a two-building residential expansion at Wind Crest, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Highlands Ranch, about 15 miles south of Denver.

The expansion will also include 18,000 square feet of amenity space, including outdoor space, multiple new restaurants, a second fitness center and other shared spaces. development1
