Details: Saint Benedict's Senior Community, the nonprofit senior housing development arm of St. Cloud-based healthcare provider CentraCare, opened a 72-unit community in Sartell, a project touted as setting a new standard for incorporating wellness concepts into senior housing.
Chateau Waters opened in August following an 18-month build out. Designed by RSP Architects and constructed by Welsh Companies, the effort was financed as part of a $128.3 million conduit revenue bond issued through the city of St. Cloud. About $15 million of the total was for the Sartell project.
CentraCare, owner of St. Cloud Hospital, said the project is unique in several ways, including its centerpiece — an expansive spa and wellness center boasting "the latest in health, relaxation, beauty and fitness." A design emphasis was placed on spaces devoted to hobbies such as gardening, walking and cooking, as well as encouraging socializing with friends and family.
