MorseLife Health System has broken ground and started construction on its new luxury independent living residence, The Tower at MorseLife, in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The 300,000-square-foot, ten-story residence will be built in two phases at a cost of $77.6 million and is scheduled to open in summer 2017.
The Tower at MorseLife is the final building of MorseLife’s four-phase, $150 million capital project funded in part by the nonprofit’s Campaign to Transform MorseLife. The previous projects included the Sondra & David S. Mack Pavilion for Short-Term Rehabilitation, which opened in January 2014; renovation of the long-term care residence, the Resnick Pavilion, which was completed in November 2014; and Memory Care Assisted Living, which opened in June 2015.
The new build will offer 135 one- and two-bedroom apartments in the first phase of construction, gourmet dining in its restaurant and bistro, a wellness spa, an outdoor pool, and a variety of activities. The second phase of construction calls for a total of 182 apartments, with additional units built .
The architect for The Tower at MorseLife is the firm of Perkins Eastman, and the construction company is Whiting-Turner.
