Over at the Brookdale site on West Hill, work continues on the new transitional wing for the existing assisted living and specialized memory care facilities. The residential areas of the new wing have been framed out and roofed. Shingles have been attached and plywood has been attached, leaving rough openings for windows, doors and A/C units. Sheathing will follow (you can see a little Tyvek housewrap on the far end), and exterior materials will come along in due course.
The connector to the existing wings is not as far along; some exposed roof trusses can be seen, and some of the roof plywood has been installed but not tar papered and shingled.
The buildout appears to differ from the online plans slightly. The plans show standard rectilinear corners. The new wings have chamfered corners.
The 32-unit, 32-bedroom project is expected to open to new residents in the first quarter of 2017.
