Saint John’s on the Lake Retirement Community

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Saint John’s on the Lake project included a new independent housing tower with up to 20 stories and renovation of an existing tower. The new $80 million tower included a 50-bed nursing facility, a 24-suite community-based residential facility and 12 residential care apartments. Renovation of the North Tower converted offices into common areas and added 75 new independent living spaces. This project was a multi-phased effort. As the new tower was completed, the existing space was be re-purposed and renovated to meet current requirements.
