50 will have 110 living units for rent.
In a move designed to provide greater choice
to Capital Region seniors seeking independent
housing, Summit Senior Living LLC is constructing
a 110-unit rental complex called The Summit
at Saratoga on Perry Road off Route 50 in Saratoga
Springs.
The three-story apartment project, already underway,
will be situated on 12 acres and will comprise
one building with an integrated clubhouse
featuring an indoor pool and hot tub, sauna, fitness
center, full-service salon, tavern, movie theater
and a variety of other recreational areas, including
bocce ball and pickle ball courts, according to
Adam DeSantis, principal of Summit Senior Living.
J. Luke Construction Co. Inc. of Schenectady is
the general contractor on the project.
“The Saratoga Springs market is underserved in
terms of luxurious, yet affordable housing options
for those over 55,” said DeSantis. “This community
will give seniors tremendous value for their money
as there are no entrance fees. Included in each
month’s rental fees is access to our Senior Engaged
Life (SEL) program, which allows residents to remain
active in mind, body and spirit as they enjoy
everything from regular speakers and outings to
pilates and cooking classes.”
Completion is expected by this summer.
DeSantis said the Summit at Saratoga will
offer age-restricted, independent living rental
apartments. The community will feature a mix of
one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging in size
from 715 to 1,065 square feet.
Finishes will include upscale carpeting and floor
tile, granite countertops, balconies/patios for all
apartments, full-size washers and dryers in each
apartment, central air conditioning and 24-hour
emergency services through an emergency call
and fire detection system.
He said rents will also include cable television
and Internet service, water, sewer, trash and full
access to the SEL services featuring links and
referrals to community service providers, educational
programs, health and wellness activities,
recreational events, finance/legal resources, social
opportunities, transportation services for shopping
and medical visits, as well as a daily continental
breakfast.
“We believe that Capital Region seniors who
enjoy an active lifestyle will be attracted to the
Summit at Saratoga,” said DeSantis. “This community
is within minutes of an array of retail
conveniences including major grocery and big
box outlets. The site is also a short distance from
downtown Saratoga for those who enjoy fine dining
and other attractions.”
The Summit at Saratoga is Summit Senior Living’s
third Capital Region project. Eastwyck Village,
a 144-unit senior retirement community for
seniors 62 and older, opened in North Greenbush
in 2011. Last year The Meadows at Glenwyck, a
110-unit independent living community designed
for those 55-plus who want to maintain an active,
healthy lifestyle without all the hassles of home
ownership, opened at 150 Dutch Meadows Lane
in Glenville.
