Construction has been completed on The Residences at Plainview, an upscale independent living community for active senior adults in Plainview, N.Y. Developed by Capitol Seniors Housing and operated by Chelsea Senior Living, the 150,000-square-foot facility at 9 Gerhart Road offers 114 residential suites and high-end amenities.
E.W. Howell Construction Group provided full pre-construction and construction management services for the project, formerly a Residence Inn by Marriott. Amenities and interiors were designed by Meyer Senior Living Studio.
The Residences at Plainview offers studios, one- and two-bedroom residences, numerous public areas for socialization and amenities and services. Fitness and recreation amenities include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, putting green, sauna and full exercise facilities. Other amenities include a bistro, sports bar, movie theater, art studio, salon and barber shop. Among the services available to the residents are a concierge, 24/7 video surveillance and valet parking. The property is meticulously landscaped with gardens and a walking path.
“This project is unique and stands out among current senior living facilities on Long Island. We were able to renovate an existing facility which operated as a hotel for more than 30 years and turn it into a modern day independent senior living facility with beautiful finishes and improvements,” said Scott Lozier, a project manager at EW Howell who oversaw the transformation of the Residences at Plainview. “As the demand for senior living facilities rises, more operators will be looking at existing buildings for adaptive reuse, which is a great way to breathe new life into a property and extend its functionality for years to come.”
