Cherry Hills Assisted Living and Memory Care, a boutique retirement community at 6325 S. University Blvd., will open next year. It will specialize in assisted living and memory care for residents living with cognitive disabilities. Longtime development and management companies Urban Inc. and Esprit Homes, led by Steve Shraiberg and Alfred Blum, are developing the project. Since 1973, Urban Inc. has been developing, financing, building, marketing and managing real estate – residential, commercial, retail, mixed-use, senior, public and private developments. The development will include state-of-the-art services, designs and amenities – all built within deKoevend Park and adjacent to Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. The 85-unit facility will offer studios, and one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments ranging from 376 square feet to 1,024 sf. Staff will be on site 24 hours a day, advanced optional resident centered technology services will be available to every resident and a full-time licensed nurse will be available on site. Lantz-Boggio Architects designed the center. “We are thrilled to introduce CHAL for seniors and their families looking for a boutique and modern community offering the highest quality in services and amenities,” said Greg Wrench, principal/ developer at CHAL and Urban Inc./Esprit Homes. “With our incredible location and surroundings as well as high-end services and care, this community is sure to provide a compelling option for local and national seniors and families alike,” Wrench said. Amenities will include a bistro, a spa and salon, a high-tech theater, daily laundry services and housekeeping, transportation, community gardens and trails, private storage, free cable, direct access to the Goodson Recreation Center and deKoevend Park, ample parking, an open two-story atrium in the lobby and social areas, expansive views of the surrounding park, and nearby shopping and restaurants. The community will offer daily activities, including exercise classes, educational classes, gardening, movie nights, theme nights and much more. The full-service dining room offers breakfast, lunch and dinner menu items created by the in-house executive chef and staff. “CHAL is a project born out of the need for superior assisted living and memory care options, with the added benefit of being located within deKoevend Park and adjacent to the communities of Centennial, Cherry Hills and Greenwood Village,” said Chris Hines, principal/developer at CHAL and Urban Inc./Esprit Homes. “With grocery stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's located nearby, as well as restaurants, shopping and walking trails, we know our residents and their families will love the location and community,” according Hines.
