A Restaurant-To-Seniors Housing Conversion

A Restaurant-To-Seniors Housing Conversion

A former restaurant and banquet facility in Lower Providence, Pennsylvania is being converted to seniors housing, so the kitchen and dining room are covered.  The restaurant, known as the Collegeville Inn, had its heyday in the 1950s and 60s, but after a couple of unsuccessful reboots, it closed for good in the early 2000s, when M&T Bank took over ownership. Now, Providence Place Senior Living, which already operates five communities in Pennsylvania, has broken ground on a $19 million conversion/addition project to develop a 113-unit senior living community. Included in the plans is a two-story addition that will house the residential units, which would serve independent living,... Read More »

Parc Communities Grows Again

Atlanta-based Parc Communities is bringing its luxury seniors housing brand out of state for the first time, with a 159-unit development near Texas A&M University in Bryan, Texas (next to College Station).

However, the Great Recession hit independent living especially hard, and Parc repositioned its portfolio, adding an assisted living component to three communities, keeping two as-is, and selling off two. Now, Parc Communities is priming itself for growth again, starting with a... Read More »
