Liv Communities christens its 3rd senior living community in Valley, LivGenerations Pinnacle Peak

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA ‒ Liv Communities christened its third senior living community in the Valley last week, cutting the ribbon at LivGenerations Pinnacle Peak, 23733 N. Scottsdale Rd., in Scottsdale.

The 110-unit community joins senior living properties that Liv Communities already operates in Gilbert and Ahwatukee.

“As you can imagine, this building will probably win many awards for its design and layouts, but from our standpoint, we know it’s beautiful, but we would like to assume the prize is going to come later over time,” said Dennis Scalpone, Executive Director of LivGenerations Pinnacle Peak. “The true prize is the programming, the lifestyle, and the choices we provide to our seniors.

“At LivGenerations our brand promise is to create uncommonly positive experiences for all seniors. It’s a time for them to look forward, a time for them to make new friends, to accomplish new goals, and a time to create memories. This community becomes their new home and here we all become family.” Scalpone said.

LivGenerations Pinnacle Peak totals 170,000 SF and offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care apartment homes. The Terrace Apartments (independent living and assisted living) offer eight floor plans. Alla Vita (memory care) offers two floor plans.

“We are very happy to have a facility like this,” said Scottsdale Councilwoman Suzanne Klapp. “We are in a city that has a significant aging population. It’s great that this particular facility can be here today to serve those citizens who need it and those that are going to come in the future.”

The new community features a full range of luxury amenities including classes in the state-of-the-art Liv Fit Fitness Center; a heated saltwater pool; yoga and meditation; a walking club; non-denominational worship services; the Mosaic Art Studio; and the Orchid Salon and Day Spa.

Social amenities include wine tastings in the Infusions Wine Cellar; Barley’s Bourbon Bar; the Silk Tassel Tea Room; a movie theater; and a dog park.

Ryan Companies US, Inc., is the general contractor; Todd & Associates Inc. is the architect of record; and Thoma-Holec Design (LuAnn Thoma-Holec) is the interior designer.

“We’re here to celebrate a new beginning. Dennis and his team get to turn a beautiful community into an aspiring place to live, and a vibrant place to live,” said Liv Communities CEO Scott Brooks. “It’s a new beginning for those that will call this place their home. We’re excited to welcome them home here so they can live their lives to the absolute fullest.

“To accomplish this, it takes a lot of smart, passionate, hard-working people collaborating as one team. To everyone who helped touch this project, support us and our team through the process, we would not be here without you,” Brooks said.
