“Even after the former
hospital sat vacant for five years, the people of Aurora never lost sight of
its potential, presenting us with an opportunity to work alongside city and
state officials to preserve a local landmark while creating much-needed housing
for area seniors,” said David Block,
director of development for Evergreen Real Estate Group, which will also manage
the community.
“Through thoughtful
renovations, we were able to restore this extraordinary building and transform
it into a vibrant residential community with all of the amenities and services
today’s seniors desire in a home.”
Located at 400 E. New York
St., Aurora St. Charles Senior Living offers a mix of studio, one- and
two-bedroom floorplans, all with spacious living/dining areas and open
kitchens. The community’s renovated interiors showcase a number of original
design features, including terrazzo and stone floors in common areas, oversized
windows in each residence and 9-foot ceilings throughout the building.
When
complete, the property will also feature several shared amenity spaces,
including a large community room in the hospital’s former chapel that will
house a library/reading room and separate computer area. Outside, walking paths
and community gardens will provide additional opportunities for exercise and
socialization.
