A new senior living community, dubbed Atria Westminster, is currently under construction 10 miles northwest of Denver in Westminster, Colo. The OZ Architecture-designed facility will offer 137 units across five stories.
The 137 units will break down to 107 assisted living apartments and 30 memory care studios. Assisted living units will range in size from 410-sf studios to 970-sf two-bedroom units. Memory care studios will range from 275 sf to 310 sf. Units will include stainless steel appliances and fixtures, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, and recessed lighting. The units will also have direct access to a single-story dining and amenity wing.
