Enright School being turned into senior living apartments
Written on June 21, 2009
Roberts Cos. said Friday it is converting the former Enright School to independent senior living apartments. The building has undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation, which began in 2006.
About 20 people living there now will have to move when their leases expire, said Maureen Smallwood, who will manage the converted facility, now called Roberts Place Senior Living. Roberts Cos. spent $20 million to buy and renovate the one-time school as part of the Roberts Place development in the 5300 block of Enright Avenue. The school opened in 1905 pay day loan.
Smallwood said about 70 apartments will be modified with lower cabinets and improved emergency-response systems. Senior residents will be offered "hospitality services" such as meals and housekeeping, she added.
Depending on the success of the senior-living project, fully accessible homes may be built adjacent to the apartments, Smallwood said.
