With Western Home Communities advancing plans for assisted living, nursing care and expanded wellness services, now is the time to explore condominium living at Gathering Place in Iowa City.
A new opportunity for active living is taking shape at Gathering Place, and prospective residents have the chance to be among the first to reserve a condominium in The Lodge.
The planned 16-residence condominium building offers another way to enjoy the freedom of maintenance-free living, surrounded by wellness opportunities, community connections and the experience of Western Home Communities.
And with important developments underway across the campus, there's even more reason to explore what lies ahead.
Choose Your Future Home Before Construction Begins
The Lodge is currently in presales, giving prospective residents an opportunity to explore available condominium residences and make their selections before the building is constructed.
For those considering a move, early reservations offer the advantage of greater choice while helping move the community's next phase of development forward.
Western Home Communities is working toward the 75% presale commitment needed to begin construction of The Lodge. As that milestone approaches, residents who reserve early can play a direct role in helping bring the building to life.
More Than a Condominium. A Community for Your Future.
What makes The Lodge especially appealing is the community surrounding it.
Gathering Place is being developed by Western Home Communities, an established Iowa nonprofit with more than a century of experience in senior living.
The community is designed to help residents enjoy active, independent lifestyles, with access to Thrivera wellness services and opportunities to remain engaged, healthy and connected.
And now, plans for the full continuum of care are advancing.
Western Home Communities has taken significant steps toward bringing assisted living and nursing care to Gathering Place, including progress with the State of Iowa, architectural planning and discussions with city officials.
Current projections suggest that construction of the new care and wellness building could begin as early as spring 2027, with a potential completion in fall 2028, subject to necessary approvals and construction considerations.
Leadership hopes to begin construction of The Lodge at approximately the same time, depending on condominium presales.
The planned expansion includes assisted living, nursing care and enhanced wellness and therapy amenities, giving future residents greater confidence in the long-term vision for Gathering Place.
