Trulee Evanston is a 9-story, LEED silver, senior community that offers a continuum of care with 45 independent living, 83 assisted living, and 35 memory care living units. Programming and amenities focus on the relationship between interior and exterior spaces and establishing technology, culinary and local business partnerships to engage the building and its residents with the community in which it is located. Filling out a blighted, triangular parcel of land, the “L” shaped residential floors sit above a 2-story base that contains a lobby, parking, and the primary amenity spaces, setting back on the upper floors. The resultant spaces provide landscaped and secure outdoor spaces for living and alfresco dining. The exterior is a streamlined modern composition of stone, three colors of brick and large windows, designed to hold its own on the busy urban site and emit a feeling of permanence, strength, and hospitality, welcoming to the residents as well as the community.
