Gruzen Samton completes $5 million renovation project
Local community and business leaders recently joined Atria Briarcliff Manor residents and employees in celebrating their newly refurbished community.
The event showcased the results of an almost $5 million renovation project at the community, which is currently home to more than 100 seniors. The project enhanced common areas, the bistro and the theater as well as the wellness center and memory-care neighborhood. The project also upgraded apartments throughout, improved an emergency call system and rejuvenated landscaping that surrounds the community.
"We share a common goal and that is to protect area seniors and enhance their quality of life," said Wendy Palmiero, executive director of Atria Briarcliff Manor. "The outcome of this project is a beautifully renovated building that I know our residents are proud to call home."
The one-year project was designed by New York City-based Gruzen Samton.
