Pathway Senior Living Proposes 120-Unit Supportive Living Facility
Des Plaines, Illinois-based Pathway Senior Living is proposing to build a 120-unit senior living facility in Lake Zurich, a northwest suburb of Chicago, reports Lake Zurich Courier.
Village trustees have agreed that the proposal to build a three-story supportive living facility on part of six acres in north Lake Zurich should go before the advisory plan commission for a public hearing.
The proposed community would classify as affordable under federal and state regulations, meaning at least 25% of the 120 units would be rented to adults age 65 and older who have annual incomes of $26,000 or less, according to Pathway Principal and Co-President Robert Helle.
Floor plans for individual units would be constructed as one-bedroom apartments—not studios—with kitchenettes. Additionally, a patio, living room, inning room, library, computer space, social area, sun room and beauty parlor would also be included within the building.
The Village Plan Commission is expected to review the application for the project next month, the article notes.
