The Lumiere of Chesterfield's independent living residences are move-in ready; Assisted living units to open in late July and memory care units to open in August. Grand opening ribbon-cutting and open house planned for today, June 27.

ST. LOUIS, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tutera Senior Living & Health Care, together with Shelbourne Healthcare Development Group, announces the completion of "The Lumiere of Chesterfield," an upscale senior living community in the St. Louis suburb of Chesterfield, Missouri. A special ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, June 27, at 4 p.m., will mark the grand opening of the new $55-million facility at 16255 Chesterfield Parkway West.

The 96 independent living apartments within the 193,000-square-foot development located near Chesterfield Mall just opened and are filling up fast. The Lumiere of Chesterfield's 37 assisted living units will open in late July and its 17 memory care units will open in August, for a total of 150 well-appointed residency options. The high-end development offers residents such desirable amenities as libraries, a wine room, bistros, a dog park, bocce ball and putting green.

"The Lumiere of Chesterfield raises the bar on luxurious retirement living," said Joe Tutera, CEO. "We invite anyone who's interested in seeing our elegant new senior living options to join us at our June 27 Open House. Our French-inspired architecture and impressive amenities will be on full display in the beautiful, light-filled interior and outside on our impressive grounds."

The Lumiere of Chesterfield Open House is scheduled from 3-6 p.m. on Thursday, June 27, and the general public is welcome. Attendees will enjoy gourmet appetizers, a signature cocktail, giveaways and valet parking available. An independent living apartment will be open for viewing to showcase the stylish and comfortable residences.

Living up to its namesake – lumiere, which means light – The Lumiere of Chesterfield features large windows that illuminate its interior. The quietly luxurious community is flooded with natural light, offering a variety of common spaces both indoors and outdoors. Every room incorporates Biophilic design, or a visual connection to surrounding nature, which has been shown to improve the well-being of individuals occupying indoor spaces.

"Tutera is committed to ensuring seniors have access to exceptional programming and care environments that enrich daily life, and The Lumiere is the latest example of that," said Randy Bloom, PhD, Tutera president and COO. "We designed a beautiful space where residents thrive."

The Lumiere at Chesterfield combines local manor farmhouse architecture with modern amenities. An enhanced entrance visible from Chesterfield Parkway West leads to a circular plaza adorned with ornamental plants and a kinetic sculpture by a local artist. Exterior features include a prominent porte cochere (covered entrance) with masonry and stone piers, as well as a spacious front porch. Thoughtfully designed outdoor amenities include pedestrian pathways and distinctive gardens. The building materials convey harmony with the environment, and the design seamlessly integrates into the site's topography.

The project architect is Moseley Architects in Springfield, Virginia, and the interior designer is Faulkner Design Group out of Dallas.

Shelbourne, known for its best-in-class communities and premier site developments nationally, tapped Tutera to manage and lease the new facility because of Tutera's 40-plus years of luxury senior living industry leadership. Recent Tutera accolades include the "Best Senior Living Communities 2024" award from U.S. News & World Report presented to several Tutera communities, as well as quality awards from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Senior Living.

Dignitaries attending the June 27 ribbon-cutting ceremony include:

• West St. Louis County Chamber of Commerce President/CEO, Lori A. Kelling
• Tutera's Vice President of Growth Strategy, Stacey Sunde, and Regional Vice President, Mike Ross
• Shelbourne Healthcare Development Group's Jack Snyder, Marianne Menapace and Mark Hallowell
