GAITHERSBURG, Md., Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Kisco Senior
Living and joint venture partner Welltower (NYSE: WELL) are pleased
to announce the groundbreaking of The Carnegie at Washingtonian
Center, a unique concept for senior living in the heart of
Gaithersburg. The seven-story
complex will offer spacious 302 one- and two-bedroom floorplans for
independent living, assisted living and memory care residences.
Situated on 8.5 acres beside RIO Lakefront at Washingtonian Center,
The Carnegie is set to welcome residents in the spring of 2024.
"The Carnegie will be one of our signature communities and we
are proud to introduce the Kisco lifestyle to the city of
Gaithersburg," said Andy Kohlberg, president and CEO of Kisco Senior
Living. "Kisco follows the simple philosophy of putting our
residents first. Early on, we adopted best-in-class standards from
the hospitality industry to create a five-star experience for our
residents. We're excited to bring this unique lifestyle experience
founded on our principles that promote the health and wellbeing of
residents."
For over 30 years, Kisco Senior Living has specialized in

senior living communities that provide exemplary service in safe,
secure and friendly environments. With 20 communities across the
country, Kisco is committed to a standard of excellence that raises
the bar in senior living, including Forbes Travel Guide Star
hospitality certification.
The Carnegie is named for the rich heritage of culture and
philanthropy associated with Andrew
Carnegie. He is responsible for the construction and
donation of approximately 2,500 public libraries around the world.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Carnegie
Institution of Science are in nearby Washington D.C. In addition, the renowned
Carnegie Hall has set the international standard for musical
excellence.
"One of Kisco's signature features is The Art of Living Well
programming which addresses six dimensions of wellness. Providing
intellectual and educational opportunities for residents
personifies The Carnegie name," said Kohlberg. "We want to empower
residents to pursue their passion and purpose, surrounded by
culture, art, and education. It's all about providing a
maintenance-free lifestyle and allowing them to enjoy their lives
with peace of mind."
The Carnegie at Washingtonian Center will feature premium
amenities including chef-prepared meals in a choice of multiple
indoor and al fresco dining venues; an indoor heated, salt-water
pool; state-of-the art fitness center; wellness spa; yoga studio;
and access to health care on site. Additional lifestyle amenities
include a lecture hall for ongoing local educational programming;
computer learning center; curated art gallery; cooking
demonstration kitchen; and an outdoor landscaped park with a trail
leading to Malcolm King Park.
In partnership with Welltower, Kisco plans to open a Discovery
Center at Downtown Crown in spring 2022 to showcase the selection
of floorplans and elegant interior design of The Carnegie at
Washingtonian Center. The floorplan options will range in size from
one bedroom, one bath (837 square feet) to two bedrooms, two baths
with a den (1,487 square feet) and a club level living option that
includes concierge and valet services.
"This is one of the most exciting projects for us to work on
with our valued partners at Kisco Senior Living," said Nikhil Chaudhri, senior vice president, co-head
of US investments at Welltower. "The Carnegie at Washingtonian
Center will be a premier community where seniors will have access
to first class amenities and care in a truly dynamic and
inspirational environment."
With construction underway, THW Design is the project's
architect with StudioSIX5 serving as the interior design partner.
