Brio Living Services Celebrates Groundbreaking of New Independent Living Addition in Grand Rapids
Brio Living Services hosted a public groundbreaking to celebrate its new independent living addition, The Ravines, which will be located at Porter Hills Village, Brio’s flagship Grand Rapids campus at 3600 Fulton St. E. The event took place on May 14 at the Cascade Hills Country Club with approximately 80 guests in attendance.
Called “The Ravines” for the picturesque views its residents will enjoy of the nearby woodlands, this new construction will offer 26 spacious apartments between 1,360 and 1,480 square feet. Each will feature amenities such as individual garage and storage spaces, a fully equipped kitchen with full-sized appliances, 9-foot ceilings, and high quality finishes, as well as access to all the care, comforts, and conveniences available at Porter Hills Village.
“Brio is dedicated to creating opportunities for older adults to live life vibrantly, including our latest addition, The Ravines,” said Brio Living Services President & CEO Steve Fetyko. “It is in keeping with our vision of a world in which all are empowered to age well.”
“A lot of planning by the Brio Living Services Board and leadership team has gone into The Ravines,” said Brio Living Services Board Chair Mike Shore. “We are very excited to launch this project.”
Brio Living Services has invested roughly $25 million into the 35-acre Porter Hills Village campus over the last five years to update the existing units and renovate the campus’s dining and common spaces, according to Fetyko. “Porter Hills Village has proudly served Grand Rapids since 1970, and we are pleased to continue our investment in Porter Hills Village and in the broader Grand Rapids community.”
Brio’s Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, James Kelly, agreed. “What separates Porter Hills Village from other senior living organizations is its 50+ years of experience in the Grand Rapids area. As part of Brio Living Services, we look forward to additional projects in the future as we continue to evolve to meet the needs and desires of a growing population of older adults, not only by offering a variety of senior living options, but also by being thoughtful about how care is delivered. We recognize the importance of providing older adults—of varying needs and income levels—with the living accommodations, care, and services they desire to live life to the fullest.”
A total structure of nearly 50,000-square-feet, The Ravines is expected to be completed by Summer 2025. Units are still available, although demand for these beautiful new apartments is high, according to Kelly.
