“Legacy Senior Residences is the start of addressing an issue facing a fast-growing segment of our city’s population,” said Mayor Ron Nirenberg. “The number of adults older than 55 in our city is growing more quickly than the overall population, and Legacy Senior Residences will create a place for our communities to age in comfort, safety, affordability and dignity. I am excited to see this project come to fruition.”
