Once its ambitious $100M renovation is complete, Goodlette Arms will more than be the
equal of the sun-drenched, palm-tree-strewn oasis that surrounds it.
The large-scale improvements, which are well underway, include enhancements to the
gated senior community’s exteriors and the addition of UFAS-accessible walkways.
In-unit updates include new floors and kitchen cabinets, eco-friendly appliances and
refreshed bathrooms with low-flow plumbing fixtures. Redesigned lobbies and common
rooms, along with a fully renovated gym, will further reinvigorate what is an already
powerful sense of community, one that spurs residents to lend each other a hand with
things like transportation, grocery shopping, and even moving furniture.
Other amenities include resident and co-working lounges, BBQ/picnic area, library and
laundry. The on-site social services team, too, is pitching in with meal service and a regular
schedule of communal events, just the beginning of a robust overall program of assistance.
And now that Fairstead has assumed on-site property management, residents can rest
assured that maintaining a higher-than-expected standard of upkeep will be a priority for
all, as will new paradigms for operating transparency and resident communication.
