TEMPE, ARIZ. (Dec. 24, 2024) ‒ Liv Communities, a developer and operator with an extensive track record in amenity-rich multifamily and senior living projects, experienced an exceptional year of growth and recognition, with new communities set to open in 2025.

“Since the opening of our first Liv (branded) community, Liv Avenida in Chandler, Arizona, to our newest grand opening at Liv+ Union Peak, countless enhancements have been made to curate the ultimate ‘Liv,’ experience. Building our brand is about actively discovering, and then acting upon what helps our customers, residents and all stakeholders live their best lives,” said Liv Communities’ COO Heidi Arave-Noonan, who was honored by helping moderate the Multifamily Women’s Summit in Phoenix in September. “We are never satisfied. Never finished. We spend our time working to improve our brand from the way we develop and operate our communities, to how our team is served and how we serve others. Celebrating all of these fabulous milestones brings all of us so much joy.”
