Lakewood, a nonprofit continuing-care community in Henrico County, plans to begin construction next week on a $64 million expansion.
Groundbreaking for the expansion on Oct. 19 will coincide with the 40th anniversary of the community, which is owned by LifeSpire of Virginia Inc.
The project includes the four-story Lakeview Clubhouse and two additional buildings in the community’s Woodside Hybrid Homes.
The upper floors of the clubhouse will include 44 apartments. The first floor of the building will house a fitness center, restaurant, lounge and auditorium.
The facility also will have a heated indoor pool, spa, convenience store, coffee shop, beauty salon and barber shop, library, card and billiards room, art studio and woodworking shop.
The new Woodside Hybrid Homes buildings will include individual garages and private outdoor spaces such as covered patios or balconies. Each building will also have a large commons area.
THW Design is the architect of the project, and W.M. Jordan is the general contractor for the project. Construction is expected to be completed by late 2019 or early 2020.
