Capitol Seniors Housing opened a brand-new assisted living/memory care community in Chicago’s Highland Park neighborhood to be operated by Atria Senior Living. What’s the name for the new community? Appropriately, it’s Atria Highland Park. 

This property was designed by Richmond, Virginia-based Mosely Architects and Austin, Texas-based Studio Six 5, and features 72,000 total square feet in three stories. There are 86 units, 22 of which are in a separate memory care neighborhood that also features a salon. Other amenities across the community include a theater, art studio, fitness center and a wellness center offering health checkups and monitoring. That probably reduces the stress of not only seniors but also their adult children these days. In addition, the community overlooks the Sunset Valley Golf Course, and Capitol Seniors Housing created a pedestrian crossing extending into Sunset Woods Park for the seniors, but also as a public benefit. 

The community began preleasing back in October 2019, so we hope it got a lot of interest in the months leading up to the pandemic.
