Mainstreet breaks ground in Westfield

WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) - Mainstreet Property Group’s new senior living facility broke ground this week in Westfield.

Westfield Mayor Andy Cook announced the project last summer.

The state-of-the-art senior living facility is adjacent to Grand Park.  The $13.5 million facility is located on 7.5 acres and will create between 140-150 jobs.

The project includes 65,000 square feet with 100 suites.  The facility incorporates hotel-style living and social amenities within a short-term rehab and health care assisted environment.  There will be private rooms and multiple social destinations, including restaurant-style dining.

The economic impact over the next ten years is estimated at $142.3 million, including the economic impact of construction in 2012.

For 2012, Mainstreet has identified 10 new locations and has begun the land acquisition process in Illinois, Ohio and other Midwestern states.
