Grande Vita, A BioCity Campus,has brokenground on a 20 acre, multi-use, campus-style community at Crismon Road and Hampton Avenue in Mesa. This $300 Million project by Khangura Development, will allow seniors to "age in place". The concept is designed to create a virtuous circle in which clinical healthcare delivery and research & development co-exist on the same campus to deliver state-of-the-art medical care and translational research in an environment in which society's brightest and best want to live, work and innovate. Grande Vita will create an estimated 476 jobs and 38.6 million dollars in wages.
When completed, the campus will encompass nearly 700,000 square feet of independent and assisted living, hotel rooms, multiple dining options, medical offices, a luxury tower and luxury condos, nursing school and rehab clinic spread out over 20 acres.
"All eyes will be on the city of Mesa for the ground breaking of Grande Vita. We couldn't be more proud to be a part of this project," says Kelly Copeland, COO of BioCity Enterprises. "Khangura Development, BioCity Enterprises, Brycon and all the other players involved are excited to build something that will revolutionize the current model of this kind of facility. It will be unrivaled when it's completed," continued Copeland.
Mesa Mayor John Giles emphasizes Grande Vita's positive impact on the City of Mesa. "Grande Vita is the future of senior living," Mayor John Giles said. "The concept of having residential, entertainment, medical and other quality of life amenities in a single campus along with medical research and hundreds of jobs is how my generation will comfortably age in place."
BioCity plans to incorporate a high-end resort-style design in to Grande Vita, complete with reflecting pools, pergolas, fountains, and green roofs. In order to increase pedestrian mobility, the development will include winding pedestrian walkways and bridges. The integrated independent living facility will provide senior Mesa residents with unique housing opportunities, skilled services, and recreational activities. Conveniently located to the north is the Mountain Vista Medical Center, making the site an ideal location.
"Grande Vita will allow its residents to age in place, in a community that feels like home," says Kelly Copeland. "They will get the opportunity to be around the people and places that are familiar to them while also providing them with quality care," continued Copeland.
Grande Vita is located in Mesa, bordered by US 60 Superstition Highway, making other parts of the Valley easily accessible.
