Personally, I think all architectural renderings are too seductive!
Anyway...
From the Spring 2008 newsletter on the Mirabella web site:

We are very pleased to report that Mirabella Portland has won the highest design award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA)! At the most recent Annual Convention of the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging in Orlando, Florida, nearly 9,000 attendees—including Mr. Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize winner— recognized Mirabella Portland for Best New Design, Senior Living Community.
Professionals from all over the U.S. voted for Mirabella Portland, and many commented that the new community raises the bar and expectations for what a senior living community can be. Pacific Retirement Services (Mirabella’s parent company) and Ankrom Moisan Architects share this prestigious award.
As Marketing Director Adam Payn puts it, “Today’s retirees are very savvy people who have a strong vision of what they want out of life. They are very specific in what they are looking for in terms of housing style, particular amenities, and conveniences. Mirabella Portland has been designed to take all of these things into account.”
Among the reasons so many people are choosing Mirabella is its great location in the South Waterfront. In just a few short years the neighborhood will offer shopping, restaurants, and so much more—all within walking distance from the front door. Plus, the nearby Streetcar provides access to all of Portland.
In addition, there are 40 different floor plans to explore, all with 9-foot ceilings and extra-large windows, as well as private view decks to capture the stunning views.
Mirabella will also offer four Dining Venues/Restaurants to choose from that include a first-floor Garden Café Dining, plus Penthouse Dining on the 24th floor with million dollar views.
Amenities include a Fitness Center with indoor pool, a Spa/Salon, a Theatre, a Business Center, and much more. There will also be flexible convenience services such as free scheduled transportation, 24-hour security, housekeeping, linen and maintenance services, and full activities program.
“But what really has people excited is Mirabella’s revolutionary new financial plan,” says Adam. “There are no costly nonrefundable endowments where hard earned assets are forfeited. Instead, our Returnable Entrance Fee Plan allows them to receive a refund or leave a substantial financial legacy to their estate.”
Another very attractive aspect of Mirabella is peace-of-mind for today and always. Residents will live an actively engaged life in Portland’s signature building for senior living.
