Ceremony Celebrates $66M Expansion At Northbrook Living Community

NORTHBROOK, IL — With a $66.5 million expansion on the horizon, Covenant Living of Northbrook recently held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the campus redevelopment project. The expansion at the not-for-profit senior living community will include the building of three new three-story carriage homes.

Officials said this expansion will add 36 new one-and two-bedroom apartments, each with a large patio or balcony, and private under building garage. The project is expected to be completed in late 2025.

"Our commitment to older adults in the Northbrook area began 60 years ago when a groundbreaking was held for the first building on this site," Terri Cunliffe, CEO and president of Covenant Living, said at the Nov. 17 ceremony. "Over those decades, additional buildings were added and here we are now, ready to redevelop on this site with a project that will carry us well into the future."

The ceremony included Village of Northbrook representatives, the project's architect and construction partners, as well as Covenant Living residents.

Officials said the overall project is part of a reimagined Town Center, adding another 9,000 square feet with upgraded dining venues — both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor spaces will incorporate a fit pit.

The development team for this project includes Chicago-based construction company, Leopardo and Atlanta, Ga.-based architects, THW Design.
