NEW YORK: The six hundred and forty-eighth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
The first private seniors’ community specifically for Chinese-Americans in the Pacific Northwest is breaking ground next week, and the concept may soon be coming to the Lower Mainland.
Aegis Living, an assisted-living provider based in Redmond, Washington, is building the $50-million, 110-unit Aegis Gardens project on three hectares of lakefront land in the Seattle suburb of Newcastle. It is being marketed specifically to ethnic Chinese seniors.
Company founder and CEO Dwayne Clark said the first community of this kind was built in the northern California city of Fremont in 2001.
