Paric to Build $79 Million Senior Living in Kirkwood

Paric has been selected as general contractor for the $79 million Aberdeen Heights Senior Living Community construction project in suburban Kirkwood, Mo.

Aberdeen Heights, which sits on a 17-acre campus, will include 243 independent living apartment homes designed around amenity-filled community spaces, with community features to include restaurant-style dining, a fitness center with indoor pool, a creative arts area, a media room and a club room. Plans also include 30 assisted living apartment homes, 15 memory support apartments and a health center that includes 34 private and four semi-private skilled nursing rooms on campus. The total development budget for the project is $179 million.

The Aberdeen Heights campus is at the site of the former St. Joseph Hospital in Kirkwood. Abatement and demolition of the existing facility is being completed by Environmental Operations, Inc.

Construction of the new Aberdeen Heights Community is to begin in May with initial independent living move-ins beginning in September 2011 and an expected completion later that year.

Aberdeen Heights is owned and will be operated by Ashfield Active Living and Wellness Communities Inc., with Greystone Communities, Inc. serving as development consultant. The architect on the project is AG Architecture of Wauwatosa, Wis., with engineering services provided by PEC of Wichita, Kan., and The Clayton Engineering Company of St. Louis.
