Classic Residence by Hyatt and Plaza Companies Refurbishes Senior Living Community at Grayhawk
Renovation Includes Purchase of More Than 50 Unique Pieces of Local Artwork
Scottsdale, AZ -
February 2, 2009
Classic Residence by Hyatt and The Plaza Companies, a senior
living community located at Grayhawk, has nearly completed an
extensive refurbishment project that included major updates to the
common areas of its main building and Care Center. As part of its
dedication to the greater Scottsdale area, which has been its home
for the past ten years, the community recently purchased more than
50 unique pieces of artwork created by Arizona-based talent for the
recently updated common spaces. The purchase was a significant
investment in the Scottsdale economy.
Classic Residence by Hyatt and The Plaza Companies has a
long-held tradition of patronizing the local arts. The community at
Grayhawk is now home to the painting, sculpture and mixed-media
pieces of Katie Haas, Merrill Mahaffey, Dick Phillips, Jean
Richardson and others, all of whom are represented by Duley Jones,
Naked Horse and Wilde Meyer, the Scottsdale art galleries. The
companies' encore community at Silverstone, which is approximately
midway through development and opens next year, will also proudly
display a wealth of Arizonan artistry.
"In this sluggish economy, these recent purchases were a boon to
both the gallery owners and the artists we represent. We are proud
to be working with Classic Residence by Hyatt and The Plaza
Companies, which has proven to be a true partner to artists and
business owners throughout greater Scottsdale," said Randy Jones,
co-owner, Duley Jones. "Of course, we feel so privileged to house
the work of such talented artists in our newly renovated
community," added Sharon Harper, president and CEO, Plaza
Companies. "We were very fortunate to be able to combine a love of
art with the desire to continue to support local commerce."
All are invited to tour the refurbished community and see the
newly installed artwork. Several of the artists will be visiting
the community to discuss their pieces in the months to come. For

Hyatt and The Plaza Companies at Grayhawk is located at 7501 East
