Havenwood of Richfield — a new 88-unit senior living community — is opening in June on a relatively residential street, northeast of the I-494/I-35 interchange a block east of Lyndale Avenue.
Construction began in August on the three-story 115,000-square-foot senior residence, which will offer apartments in 19 different floor plans, including studio, one- and two-bedroom layouts.
Care options include independent living, assisted living and memory care, offered in 30 special suites.
Apartments will feature full kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, large windows, washers and dryers, in-unit climate controls and, in many cases, balconies.
Assisted living and home-care services are available to residents in their chosen apartments, along with other community perks, including a full-service dining room, a fitness center, spiritual services and an active schedule of social and wellness programming.
Kent Roers, principal at Roers Investments, said a boom in the senior population of Richfield and nearby cities in the next few years inspired the creation of the community, which allows folks to age in place, thanks to the continuum of care offered.
Roers said all senior demographics are expected to grow in Richfield and the surrounding area in the years leading up to 2020.
“Those 70 to 74 will grow at the greatest pace since the first baby boomers began retiring at 70 last year,” he said. “Those 75 and over — the age group most in need of full-service, senior-living options — will grow by 8.9 percent in the next four years alone.”
Long Lake-based Roers Investments — which partnered with Mesaba Capital Partners of Edina, CBS Construction of Champlin and Avinity, a Richfield-based nonprofit seniorcare organization — expects to open a second Havenwood location in Minnetonka in January 2019.
