Following the lead of apartment and hospitality development, senior housing communities are making amenity spaces and common areas a priority as residents place increased importance on these lifestyle features. In this recent REJournals.com article, Taylor Johnson clients The Habitat Company and Englewood Construction note that today’s seniors want fitness centers and open areas for exercise, hotel-style lobbies to gather with family and friends, and inviting outdoor spaces — all of which developers and owners are incorporating whether building a new community or updating an existing facility.

In honor of The Habitat Company’s 45th anniversary, the firm’s volunteer team recently joined residents of The Pomeroy, a Habitat-managed senior living community, for a Zumba party.
