Capitol Seniors Housing, The Residences at Plainview

Located at 9 Gerhard Road in Plainview, NY, this project included the fit-out of an existing Marriot Hotel into a new luxury senior living facility. The Residences at Plainview, a 55+ independent living community by Capitol Seniors Housing and Chelsea Senior Living, offers lifestyle choices for independent seniors more closely associated with a luxury hotel. Amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, a fully equipped gym, restaurant-style dining, and spacious one and two-bedroom apartments, each with a fully equipped kitchen. The residence offers 116 units with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, each with its own walkout patio or porch.

The 145,000-square-foot Residences at Plainview project offers a dining room overlooking a hardscaped outdoor patio and pool, a two-story open lobby with a full-height fireplace as well as bistro, bar, and lounge areas. On the second floor, a new amenity-rich main street, including a beauty salon, barber shop, and central library, has been created in one central location. With a focus on resident fitness and wellness, the project includes a gym, locker rooms, massage rooms, a sauna, an indoor pool, a yoga room, a beauty salon, a barber shop, a home health office, and two wellness rooms for on-site consultations. Outdoor amenities include a putting green, gardens, and a sylvan walking path.

The design aesthetic was inspired by the Long Island beach community with large, airy spaces, ample natural light, indoor and outdoor pools, and pastel finishes invoking a sense of being on vacation, as well as the elegance of New York City as evident by a sports bar and gourmet, restaurant-style dining. This balance can be found in the design elements throughout the community.

The Residences at Plainview project was recognized as Top Multifamily Redevelopment at the 2022 Long Island Business News 2022 Real Estate, Architecture & Engineering Awards
