Sunset Senior Communities Chapel

Jenison, Michigan

Sunset Senior Communities is a non-profit, provider of senior care in southwest Grand Rapids, MI. Waterford Place, originally opened in 2009, is ready for a third and final phase to build-out the campus. A new four-story addition of 62 independent living apartments will be built, along with a one-story addition to an existing parking structure. The commons area features a new chapel with full interactive video capabilities to provide simulcasting services between Sunset’s campuses and other education providers. A new dining venue is also provided in the addition.

A pocket neighborhood of 20 independent duplex villa units completes the site build-out. This urban design concept positions residents in close proximity with front doors facing each other across a green space to encourage a small neighborhood community feel. Each villa is a two-bedroom unit with an attached two-car garage and full residential amenities. The neighborhood has easily walk-able access to the main building with a new building entrance addition for residents.
