Oakmont, Related begin leasing ‘ultra luxury’ community
Oakmont Management Group and Related California have officially launched leasing for “ultra luxury” community, Ellore, a 20-story community in Santa Clara, California.
The Ellore community overlooks Levi’s Stadium and offers 360-degree views. The building is part of 45-acre Clara District, which is a mixed-use development featuring dining, shopping, entertainment and living options.
The new luxury community was developed by Related California and is operated by Oakmont Management Group.
This project initially was a partnership between Related and Atria Senior Living, which have partnered together on super-luxury Coterie communities.
“Atria recently sold its investment in the Santa Clara project to Related and with this, management transitioned to Oakmont. We continue to be a partner in and manage the two existing Coterie communities in San Francisco and New York, both of which are outperforming their markets,” Atria said in a statement provided to Senior Housing News.
The Santa Clara community includes 176 residences of independent living, assisted living and memory care. Each residence includes Italian-made cabinets and fully customized, spa-like bathrooms to meet individual needs across four different unit layouts.
All independent living and assisted living residences will include full-size kitchens.
The third floor houses the community’s main restaurant, The Summit Room, with an outdoor dining terrace, cocktail lounge and bar. Other amenities include a fourth-floor wellness center with a concierge physician’s office and physical therapy suite. The 20th floor includes an activity room, fitness center, yoga studio, theater, spa treatment room, private showers, outdoor saltwater pool and views of the Diablo Mountains.
“We are proud to finally reach this milestone for Ellore with our partners at Oakmont Management Group,” said Nick Vanderboom, COO of Related California. “Located in the heart of the Clara District, Ellore will set a new standard of luxury senior living in Silicon Valley by offering residents thoughtfully curated homes, amenities and programming for older adults without sacrificing design, comfort and lifestyle.”
