Occupying a rocky eleven-acre promontory overlooking Long Lake on the northern edge of Nanaimo, the first phase of the Nanaimo Senior Living community includes 120 independent living retirement apartments, and 16 retirement cottages. The two, three and four level structure is designed to maximize views of the lake and the Straight of Georgia beyond. A double height lobby overlooks a vaulted dining room on the level below with spectacular views to the lake and city beyond. The second phase will add another 18 retirement cottages and a three-story 100 unit assisted living facility at the crest of the hill.
