‘Goofy’ but Worth It: Why Maplewood, Felician Services, Senior Lifestyle Adapt Older Buildings

Senior Housing News December 6, 2024

Architects and developers are finding ways to get creative with the practice of adaptive reuse, where old buildings are converted into new senior housing offerings.

While the practice isn’t for the faint of heart due to the costs and challenges with bringing buildings up to code, it comes with unique opportunities and marketing possibilities once the projects are completed.

Among those working in this area of development are Maplewood Senior Living, Felician Services and Senior Lifestyle.Recent projects include Maplewood’s Inspir Embassy Row, which came together from a former hotel in Washington, D.C.; the conversion of a convent in Livonia, Michigan into affordable senior housing; and the conversion of a 100-year-old monastery in northwestern Chicago into Senior Suites of Norwood Park.
