Affordable senior living project underway in Hawaii
A joint project between EAH Housing and Hawai’i Island Veterans Memorial Inc. will lead to the development of residential units planned for a master-planned complex in Hilo, Hawaii.
Hale Na Koa ‘O Hanakahi will be built on 5.5-acres and include 92-units of affordable living units for veterans, surviving spouses and other income-qualified seniors age 62 and up.
The $58 million project features four, two-story buildings and includes on-site parking, laundry facilities, a central community center and multi-purpose room. One-bedroom units will be offered at rents of individuals earning between 30% to 80% of the area median income, in line with federal guidelines.
The project is funded through $30 million from Hula Mae multifamily bond financing and $16.9 million from Rental Housing Revolving Fund loans and $2.5 million in annual state and federal low income housing tax credits from the Hawai’i Housing Finance Development Corporation.
Construction is now underway and slated for completion in 2025.
Memory care addition set for Cardinal Ritter Senior Services
Cardinal Ritter Senior Services’ Shrewsberry, Missouri campus recently saw the completion of a memory care addition, Our Mother of Perpetual Help Memory Care.
The single-story memory care community adds two memory care households of 13 private units, with a small-home concept guiding the overall design of the project to create a more home-like, non-institutional setting for residents.
The addition includes bold door colors in neutral hallways for wayfinding, along with custom-painted backs of memory boxes to match door colors to help residents find their units. Accent paint colors were used in resident bathrooms to make fixtures easy to use.
All spaces encourage socialization and wellness. Common areas include an open floor plan and multiple dining options are available.
The project was a joint venture between Vessel Architecture, BSI Constructors and Spellman Brady and Company.
