CCRC

• 174 Independent Living Units

• 60 Health Care Beds

La Posada is a full service CCRC located in Green Valley Arizona, a city devoted to the retired, south of Tucson.

La Posada encompasses 174 independent units and 60 health care units. The facility takes advantage of Arizona’s climate with most units accessed directly from roofed exterior walkways, which allows pleasant window breezes while providing shade from intensive summer sun. Relating to the Spanish architecture in nearby Mexico, La Posada features tile roofs, stucco and special “adobe” concrete block exterior walls. The site plan embraces an exterior pool between its wings and each residential wing terminates in a square pavilion supporting circulation and service components.

La Posada has won national awards and remains one of the most frequently discussed projects in the elderly design community.
