The overview
The new 136,000-square-foot building features 48 homes, with six homes per floor, as well as an underground parking facility, shared courtyard and club room, according to a news release shared by the business.
“This expansion allows us to continue delivering the impeccable service and experiences the growing population deserve and building upon a higher caliber of life enrichment while evolving to address the needs of a new generation of retirees,” said Nichole Ulrich, executive director of Longhorn Village, in the news release.
Residents began moving into the new facility May 20. Ulrich said that nearly all units are now reserved, and waitlists are growing.
