Belmont Village Aliso Viejo Tops Out — Major Construction Milestone Achieved
April 11, 2018
HOUSTON–Belmont Village Senior Living has reached a construction milestone with the “topping out” of its twenty-ninth community located at 300 Freedom Lane in Aliso Viejo. Contractor W.E. O’Neil has completed the concrete structure of the three-story building with the final roof placement. The milestone was celebrated on Thursday, March 29, 2018 with an on-site barbeque for subcontractors and special guests.
Belmont Village was founded in 1997 as an integrated developer, owner and operator of high-end seniors housing. In the 20 years since, the company has developed and still operates 27 senior living communities in seven states and Mexico City. The most recent community opened March 24, 2018, in Calabasas.
“Building to high standards for life safety and quality has been the hallmark of our company from the beginning,” said Patricia Will, Belmont Village founder and CEO. “In W.E. O’Neil, we have found a partner who has a reputation for quality construction and a deep understanding of our unique building requirements. We’ve built several communities together now, creating a very consistent product across markets.”
In addition to the Aliso Viejo site, Belmont Village currently has four projects under construction in California, Chicago, Texas and Florida. This will be the first community Belmont Village has built in Orange County. Each Belmont Village is built to purpose and licensed throughout the building to provide a blended model of care that offers flexibility for residents if care needs change and allows couples with varying health or cognitive needs to continue to stay together.
“It is gratifying to see new residents move into our buildings, enjoy the variety of community spaces and experience the health, wellness and connectivity that they need to maintain purposeful lives,” said Will. “We take care of all the details such as higher construction standards, licensure of our buildings, research to support our programs and gold-standard training to contribute to the success of each community”
The 123,877-square-foot Mediterranean-style property is scheduled to open in January, 2019 with 148 residences featuring one-bedroom and studio apartments for Assisted Living and Memory Care. The architectural firm of Van Tilburg, Banvard & Soderbergh designed the building. Features include a professionally managed fitness center, heated saltwater pool, full service salon and exterior courtyards with outdoor dining patios and gardens by landscape architect is Ridge Landscape Architects.
