CA Ventures Planning Assisted Living Project in Kansas City Area

Chicago-based real estate investment, development and management firm CA Ventures gained approval from the Overland Park Planning Commission this week for a special-use permit and final development plan for a 116-bed assisted living facility it plans to build within a $350 million mixed-use development, reports Kansas City Business Journal.

The three-story facility would be located at Indian Creek Parkway and Switzer Road in Overland Park, Kan. The Overland Park City Council is scheduled to act on the planning commission’s recommendations by May 4, with CA Ventures planning to begin construction soon thereafter.

Within the CityPlace mixed-use development, the CA Ventures facility will be part of a 90-acre project expected to include 1,382 apartment units; 600,250 sq. ft. of office space and 39,860 sq. ft. of retail space.

N.Y. Convent Slated for $50 Million Mixed-Use, Senior Housing Renovation

The former Immaculate Conception Convent in Hamburg, N.Y., is slated to become a mixed-use development of market-rate apartments, town homes, retail space and an assisted living facility, reports The Buffalo News.

The property was acquired earlier this month by Sinatra & Company Real Estate, Ontario Specialty Contracting and Nanco Inc., the group paying $1.25 million for the 18.5 acre wooded property.

Formerly home to the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph Motherhouse, the property has been vacant since the sisters moved across the street to a newer convent.

While the final construction costs have yet to be determined, the project could easily run $25 million to $50 million, according to one person involved in the project.

Developers are planning a combo of rental apartments in the existing structure’s main building, while also seeking to lease the rear facility to a company that specializes in assisted living.

“The existing building is well-suited to that type of subdivision,” said Phil Nanula of Nanco Inc. in the article.
