Chicago's only high-rise retirement community offers a full continuum of on-site health care in combination with the amenities of downtown Chicago. Its 9th floor green roof responds directly to the need for safe, accessible outdoor space for residents of all abilities. At 7600 square feet, it is large enough for small groups to entertain, for exercise along its walking path, and for spaces of seclusion in which to read or have private conversation. A richly-layered planting design maximizes the use of color throughout all four seasons.
