R.D. Olson starts construction in California

R.D. Olson Construction announced the start of construction at the Ivy Park in Arcadia senior living community in east Los Angeles, according to a news release.

The 107,706 square-foot community will add 100 units of assisted living and memory care apartments, and the $33 million project is built on a former restaurant and events space.

Amenities and community features include secure outdoor areas, a “sensory friendly” design with distinct colors and wayfinding to reduce confusion of those experiencing dementia and cognitive change. Other features include multiple community spaces and dining areas, a reading room, bar and lounge, along with a salon. A fitness center and specialized treatment rooms will also be part of the community.

The community was awarded a “density bonus” under the California Density Bonus Law which translated to larger apartments, common areas and improved amenity spaces, the release states.

Partners on the project include b.hills architecture and StudioSix5. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2027.
