Welltower, Atria Senior Living luxury residences to see construction soon
A plan to bring luxury senior living residences to Santa Clara, California by Welltower (NYSE: WELL) and Atria Senior Living is moving forward after the successful procurement of construction financing for the project.
PNC Bank provided $130 million in financing for the development of 191 luxury residences. The project, previously announced by Welltower earlier this year, represents a partnership with Atria Senior Living for the development of Coterie, a new category of luxury senior living.
The 191-unit community in Santa Clara is planned next to a larger, 9.2 million square foot urban development from Related that is set to include office and medical office buildings, hotels, multifamily housing and retail. Related started entitlement and pre-development work on the plan in 2015, as previously reported by Senior Housing News.
The Tasman East residences will be built on a 240-acre campus adjacent to Levi’s Stadium and represent a joint venture between Welltower, Related Companies and Atria Senior Living.
The Coterie brand is continuing to grow. Coterie Cathedral Hill opened in March 2022 and Coterie Hudson Yards will open in later this year followed by Santa Clara and Cupertino, California.
