MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunrise Senior Living, a pioneer in personalized senior living services for the last 40 years, proudly announces the addition of Battery Park, an independent living high-rise community in lower Manhattan, to its growing and diverse luxury portfolio.

"Sunrise is honored to be selected by Ventas as the new manager for this iconic, luxury independent living community, which will be specially tailored for Manhattan residents intentionally seeking out our vibrant and preferred lifestyle for enjoying longer, healthier, happier lives," said Jack R. Callison, Jr, chief executive officer at Sunrise. "Today we are launching a comprehensive operating plan designed to appeal to the upcoming cohort of independent living adults expecting robust dining, lifestyle, entertainment, and wellness experiences and to address the bespoke needs and wants of seniors who proudly call New York City home. By elevating the hospitality offerings and amenities at Battery Park, we will further align this exceptional community with our existing luxury portfolio in this strategic market."

Battery Park, a 14-story senior living building that contains a fitness and wellness center, as well as an indoor heated pool, is steps away from One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. The community, which offers 217 graciously sized apartments, provides an exceptional independent living lifestyle for today's active, urban seniors.

As Sunrise assumes management, it will seek to enhance the community to benefit its current and future residents, as well as team members. With the commitment of the building owner, Ventas, Inc., the community will undergo extensive renovations to its infrastructure and common areas to elevate its sustainability and meet the refined tastes of today's older adults. Planned investments include the complete modernization of the HVAC and main building systems, aiming for greater efficiency and sustainability to meet LEED building standards.

Our strategic investment in Battery Park continues Ventas's commitment to enabling exceptional environments that benefit a large and growing aging population."
