A new 20-story luxury senior living tower is set to hit the Dallas skyline.
Nexus Development Corp., based in Santa Ana, California, has begun construction on a new building located at 2505 Turtle Creek Blvd., north of Uptown Dallas. Known as Vivante at Turtle Creek, the approximately 375,000-square-foot tower will feature 164 assisted living units, 29 memory care units, and two levels of underground parking.
Vivante is estimated to cost $150 million, with construction expected to be completed by the end of 2027. The assisted living units will range in size from 1,000 square feet to 3,000 square feet. Units will include balconies and full kitchens.
The memory care units, located in a secure section of the tower referred to as the Shores, are designed for residents with dementia. As reported earlier this year in The Dallas Express, a study found that there is a 42% risk of Americans developing the condition, double the rate previously estimated.
The luxury tower will also feature a number of amenities, such as a movie theater, yoga and Pilates studio, a beauty salon, a library, and a “family fun celebration room intended to bring generations together, which features a bowling alley, arcade, photo booth and dining area,” according to a description from Nexus. Chauffeured Mercedes transportation will also be available to residents.
HKS Inc. will act as the design firm on the project, with Andres Construction serving as the general contractor.
“We designed Vivante to feel like private condo-style residences for seniors with abundant amenities and activities, while also offering personalized medical support and assistance,” said Nexus CEO Curt Olson, per Paper City.
Cory Alder, president of Nexus Companies, said Dallas was chosen in part because it boasts “a fast-growing and affluent aging population and has a huge need for luxury senior living options.”
“We weren’t interested in just any location; we waited for the right one. Turtle Creek offers the perfect combination of proximity to Dallas’ most desirable neighborhoods and a sense of community that our future residents will resonate with,” he told Paper City.
