The Beatitudes Campus, a continuing care retirement community located at 1610 W. Glendale Ave., unveiled its new state-of-the-art Town Plaza on March 10. The grand opening marked a major milestone in the more than $100-million redevelopment project that broke ground in January of 2007.

    The 18,000-square-foot Town Plaza is the new hub of the campus and offers a library and computer stations, gift shop, M & I Bank location, salon, swimming pool, recreation space, wellness center, Corner Perk coffee shop and two dining venues: Elaine’s Fine Dining and the Plaza Bistro. The new space also features outdoor seating, new landscaping, and a southwestern mural by artist Ed Mell.

 

The Town Plaza is the heart of the expansion project. Other elements of the redevelopment include new construction of the Central Park and Courtyard apartments, and patio homes totaling 325 new independent living residences. Refurbishments and upgrades to current buildings, and re-landscaping of some of the current 22-acre site are also part of the overall redevelopment plan expected to be complete in 2011.
