Westminster (Austin, Texas), a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) managed by Life Care Services (Des Moines, Iowa), has broken ground on a new tower.

The five-story expansion project, called the Carlisle, will add 117 units, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, along with expanded wellness services, including rehabilitation and physical therapy rooms, gyms, a cardio studio, a day spa with massage services, and a nurse practitioners’ clinic. Three levels of underground parking also will be added.

The project team comprises Pi Architects (architecture; Austin) and White Construction Company (construction; Austin).

The expansion is slated for completion in fall 2022.
