Developer, owner, and operator Spectrum Retirement Communities (Denver) is planning a new independent living, assisted living, and memory care community in Algonquin, Ill.

Design features of the three-story, H-shaped The Oaks at Algonquin will include wood-frame construction with an exterior of masonry, stone veneer, shake and panel siding, and architectural shingles.

The 166-unit community will feature restaurants, a pub, salon, media lounge, theater, health club, doctor and therapist offices, and a community center with a demo kitchen. Outdoor living spaces will include a rooftop deck and fire pit, grill area, dining patio, memory care garden, and landscaped courtyards.

The project team comprises Vessel Architecture (designer; Creve Coeur, Mo.) and McShane Construction Company (construction; Rosemont, Ill.),


Completion of The Oaks at Algonquin is slated for January 2022.
