Highpointe Assisted Living & Memory Care

Named for its location on the highest elevation within the Denver city limits, Highpointe is part of a major co-redevelopment of a former hotel site.

Using a post-tensioned concrete frame and noncombustible construction, the building rises four stories on a very compact site. This was the first of a new prototype that Vessel helped develop with Spectrum, and it has opened opportunities for Spectrum to develop on sites that were previously considered too small for a successful proforma.

The building features home-like amenities and a state-of-the-art Memory Care floor devoted to providing individualized care to our elders with moderate memory problems.

Amenities include home-like Living Rooms, cheerful Community Room with kitchenette and game tables, Library with computer stations, Laundry, Fitness Center and Physical Therapy Room, a delightful Bistro for impromptu encounters throughout the week and a Private Dining Room for family events.
