About Classic Residence at Silverstone
Classic Residence at Silverstone is the encore development from
the award-winning partnership between Classic Residence by Hyatt
and Plaza Companies. Ten years ago, Classic Residence by Hyatt
brought its hospitality heritage to North Scottsdale by partnering
with Plaza Companies, the highly reputable senior living developer,
to build their first community for older adults at Grayhawk, which
today is an award-winning community. Due to the great success of
that community, the joint venture continues with Classic Residence
at Silverstone. Located just two miles north of Grayhawk, the new
$200+ million continuing care retirement community (CCRC) will have
approximately 270 independent living units and an on-site care
center upon completion in 2010.
With more than 50 years of combined experience in the senior
living industry and an unparalleled experience in Scottsdale, the
sales team at Classic Residence at Silverstone brings an invaluable
service to the community as the project continues to develop.
