Ramage said Pulte found roughly 6.6 percent projected growth for active‑adult housing in its local analysis and ranked Carmel third in the Indianapolis area for the number of 55‑and‑better households. He described a range of for‑sale product types — single‑family ranch homes, duplexes, townhomes and stacked flats — and noted Del Webb as Pulte’s high‑amenity active‑adult brand.

Ramage presented Meadowstone, a Pulte community on the southwest corner of 146th Street and Gray Road, describing 30 ranch‑style lots with common amenities such as a dog park and community gardens. A Pulte sales executive present estimated pricing “anywhere from $750 to 900” (transcript phrasing). Ramage said ranch‑style inventory within the city is dwindling and highlighted the role of amenity‑heavy Del Webb communities in supporting socialization and volunteerism among active adults.

Commission members asked about density, parking, elevator options in attached product and whether Pulte is pursuing other Hamilton County sites; Ramage said the company had put an offer on one property recently and that product types can be adapted for walkable, mixed‑use sites or smaller infill opportunities.

Panel discussion later broadened to redevelopment and land availability in Carmel; several presenters noted that open greenfield land in Carmel is limited and that future opportunities will likely come through redevelopment of older commercial or office sites. Ramage said demand for senior housing is “everywhere,” and he urged exploration of both for‑sale and rental options to meet differing household preferences.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Mayor's Advisory Commission on Senior Living - July 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Pulte representatives described for‑sale ranch homes, townhomes and Del Webb active‑adult communities for Carmel; the developer said supply of single‑story ranch homes is shrinking and presented Meadowstone, a 30‑lot ranch community coming near 146th and Gray Road with prices the presenter estimated at about $750,000–$900,000.","taxTitle","Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana","taxId",3929,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6158988,"BHI executive outlines Barrington of Carmel services, wait list and staffing concerns",1210,2086000,3296000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5456090-062d85cbbdd5ca6715a8acf3bcba2841&start=2086&end=3296","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5456090-062d85cbbdd5ca6715a8acf3bcba2841/thumbnail_2086000.jpg","/articles/6158988/Carmel/Hamilton-County/Indiana/BHI-executive-outlines-Barrington-of-Carmel-services-wait-list-and-staffing-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6158988-a5255097a79bc81bdbdd081d8241f20b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770507804&Signature=LbC1mFUtZDUSj8-V5doPbh~uCYADz4Ra2sUeNEgN1qAEuiYePHJpNv37s0g3vOlI9Xc4mKr80YLxqi314dZC1YnSYPabu0sLMkdnksCXm4CAVF26gSVhLfcRQRRNM3M2g8kdUfeFPOZlXIhHxxbbGzxEjfrtczQTneMqpBtMtgYxcPC2aaz3WBkygI3IrvuYUXXvgKiK2OWmQm6m2YmMJniD3jLJfts6Q8fvCdyfa-ovavMhWnqAxTV7Tf68bSznb7MNQkk1Qp1~nbhPOoXCVJqDxwd4F4qyNzbREIhG9fusMABJBCq2xw60lmm6JKCe1dpU5p~ytf2qJmq4wov8Aw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","John Datillo, president and CEO of BHI Senior Living, told the Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Senior Living on July 23 that BHI’s Barrington of Carmel provides a full continuum of senior services — independent living, assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing and rehab — and that the community continues to face rising demand and workforce challenges.

Datillo said Barrington occupies about 19.5 acres, contains 267 units and currently serves about 280 residents; BHI employs roughly 120 staff there plus about 50 contracted employees. He said the organization holds a “benevolent care promise” to continue resident care if someone exhausts resources through no fault of their own and that the provider earned a deficiency‑free state life safety survey and the top Medicare rating.

Speaking to commissioners, Datillo described national population trends that increase demand for senior housing — notably the large baby‑boomer cohort — and said BHI currently maintains an application wait list of about 80 people for its Carmel area communities. He cited local demographics, saying there are tens of thousands of older adults in the broader Carmel area with incomes typically aligned to BHI’s market.

Commissioners asked about affordability and what BHI is doing to limit cost increases. Datillo said the nonprofit monitors budgets and that BHI’s certified home health agency can sometimes deliver care in residents’ existing residences or delay higher‑acuity moves by coordinating Medicare‑covered services. He described preventive programming as one tool to reduce lifetime care costs but acknowledged that “all levels of care are extremely expensive.”

Commission members also raised workforce issues. Datillo said frontline staff such as certified nursing assistants typically travel from outside Carmel and surrounding zip codes and that staffing remains a constraint; he noted that increased wages and the tight labor market affect operating costs.

Datillo said BHI is exploring an expansion at the Barrington to add apartments and dining venues and expressed interest in potential additional urban‑style independent living buildings that could provide priority access to Barrington’s continuum of care. He offered to share market study data with the commission on follow‑up.","BHI Senior Living’s president described the Barrington of Carmel’s continuum of care, rising demand and staffing and affordability pressures; the nonprofit operator said it keeps a benevolent‑care promise and is exploring expansion.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6158993,"Developer outlines ‘Viva Bene’ active‑adult plan for North End phase 2",1166,453000,1619000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5456090-062d85cbbdd5ca6715a8acf3bcba2841&start=453&end=1619","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5456090-062d85cbbdd5ca6715a8acf3bcba2841/thumbnail_453000.jpg","/articles/6158993/Carmel/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Developer-outlines-Viva-Bene-activeadult-plan-for-North-End-phase-2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6158993-65660fdbecdb296788333261b6b5d579/orig.mp4?Expires=1770507804&Signature=ica2mdqw4zxi9GyVxRhBdPeQJcgenDuYoS-0HL75fqVkzRrG9xZ4FGckNCHKvJAX7GwPtUG-0vLeNZp2~u-CGy95ER3vqc9bTf3e7CKh4io5L5mVr3WdVRQ8ZNYDLLW-u2lrIDIsjw4rdB3wRiICFF0KD5q6RivhGVA8l9Wt3ByY57e0cnu9Ordwb9ycBwWpWYtb-WLmTPXzYHH~cjXiFwZCW6yOLgE-xifYu57loLxbIHnJ6XG-2kuwUFNsBCDDnCnYNEAu-Ke36RBxAWY39YZ24FdtNyOZyrbFYMKi5mLU8s~E25XJLbQijuKFnPj8I2x7RyBpGGu8VABJ0TUCJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Avenue Development told Carmel’s Mayor’s Advisory Commission on Senior Living on July 23 that it plans an active‑adult, 55+ lifestyle community called Viva Bene as part of the North End phase 2 master plan recently approved by the city council.

Mike Mattingly, co‑founder and principal of Avenue Development, said the project aims to combine “attainability and socialization. Period.” He described Viva Bene as a modern active‑adult model that sits between Class A multifamily and independent living, offering amenities and a non‑licensed concierge navigation service to help residents coordinate health services.

Mattingly said the development is intended to help residents “age in place” by providing virtual and in‑person navigation to existing health providers rather than offering on‑site doctors. He said those navigation services are billed separately to payers or insurers, not included in base rent. He also highlighted lifestyle amenities such as pools and courts and presented the development’s proximity to the Monon Trail and nearby Fields Market as selling points.

Commission members pressed Mattingly on price and leasing timelines. Mattingly said the developer expects to break ground in mid‑September and estimated a leasing program that would begin roughly 15 months ahead of opening; he projected an opening in late 2027 to early 2028. Mattingly described leasing demand from other markets, saying one recently opened Viva Bene reached about 70 percent leased within roughly 180 days.

Panel members also asked how the project would handle residents who later need higher levels of care. Mattingly said navigators would help arrange transitions and that Avenue Development maintains local provider relationships, but he did not provide a firm policy on lease termination or lease transfer in cases where a resident requires assisted living or memory care; he said the exact lease terms and “breakage” in such events were “not specified” in his remarks.

Commissioners discussed affordability and the product’s place in Carmel’s housing mix. Mattingly said Avenue positions Viva Bene at a premium to conventional multifamily but aims to make the price point more attainable than higher‑acuity assisted living through the concierge value proposition and partnerships with value‑based care providers. He noted the project fills a component of Old Town Group’s North End master plan and showed renderings of the northern building and adjacent townhomes included in phase 2.

Mattingly also described planned connections to the Fields Market farm‑to‑table program and volunteer opportunities with neighboring organizations. The presentation closed with Mattingly inviting questions and sharing that he would send the presentation slides to commission staff.

The commission did not take a formal vote on the project during the meeting.","Avenue Development described an active‑adult (55+) building called Viva Bene as part of the North End phase 2 master plan, emphasizing socialization, concierge navigation services and a proposed timeline; developers and commission members discussed affordability, leasing and transition to higher care levels.","actionData","errors"]
