The Gardens of Alpena- A New Senior Living Community Proposed in Alpena
The Gardens of Alpena is a new proposed senior living facility that would generate $48 million of local economic growth. “That project appeared on my radar back in 2021, summer. The developer ultimately reached out to me from downstate, pitched the idea to me over the phone. He wondered if any property might be suitable for a project like that. So, he came up here. I showed him around town. Ultimately, I showed him the property that the city owns north of town on US 23. He thought that may be a valuable site for a project like that. 2024 They came back again and this time they were really ready to go,” Economic Development Director for Target Alpena Mike Mahler said. The Gardens of Alpena senior living community would include two buildings housing 128 units total. The first building would be a two-story structure with 68 independent living apartments. And the second building would be a single-story structure, with 60 assisted living and memory care units. “Frankly, there’s a much greater need than what they’re going to fulfill. With 68 independent living units, 30 memory care units, and 30 assisted living units that just scratches the surface of what’s ultimately going to be needed here over the next 20, 25 years,” said Mahler.
