The St. Charles Chamber of Commerce recently honored The Holmstad with its Community Development Award, and the Batavia Chamber of Commerce presented the facility with The Ole Award.
“We are pleased and proud to receive both of these awards,” said Executive Director Karen Larson. “The Holmstad took great care in the design and construction of the town center. We counted on the talents and services of local businesses to create an attractive and functional building that would enhance not only our community, but our neighboring communities as well.”
The Community Development Award is presented to qualified members of the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce for new construction, extensive remodeling or renovation projects that represent a significant investment in the business community. The Ole Award is given to businesses or organizations that have completed renovation or construction that enhances the city of Batavia’s economic and aesthetic future.
The $30 million, 138,000-square-foot town center is the center of activity at the retirement community. The first floor offers residents a variety of convenient amenities, including a fitness center, two indoor swimming pools, a sauna and steam room, a great room with a fireplace, a game room and creative arts center, and a multipurpose room. There are 48 one- and two-bedroom residential apartments on the second and third floors. Each residence has a full kitchen, laundry facilities, a living room and dining room, and a master suite.
The Holmstad is a nationally accredited not-for-profit continuing care retirement community administered by Covenant Retirement Communities on behalf of the Board of Benevolence of the Evangelical Covenant Church. For more information call 630-879-4100 or visit www.covenantretirement.com.
