As part of the revitalization of downtown Toledo, Ohio, the overall design of Hilton’s dual-brand hotel—Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites—pays homage to the city’s history as the “Glass Capital of the World.” Situated one block from the Maumee River, adjacent to the convention center and plaza, the existing property needed a top-to-bottom interior renovation to modernize and rebrand the previous owner’s outdated property. Natural textures and timeless elements important to the hotel brand are incorporated into the design.
Situated on Euclid Avenue at East 12th Street, The Statler apartments was constructed in 1912 as the Hotel Statler. The fifteen story, 500,000 square foot building originally had 700 rooms. Following early success, it expanded to 1,000 rooms. For a time, this hotel and the Buffalo Statler were the only 1,000-room hotels outside New York City. In the 1980s it was converted to offices and in the late 1990s into apartments.

“We’re so thankful to our exhibitors for participating in the LeadingAge Annual Meeting Virtual Experience. While the focus of this year’s program and the format are new, what we treasure in LeadingAge gatherings remains the same—opportunities to bring members of the aging services community together, and to connect with partners offering innovative solutions that can help us all navigate the current realities facing our field,” said Carol Silver Elliott, chair of the LeadingAge board of directors. “We understand that this has been a tremendously difficult time for all of us individually and for our organizations. We’re excited to offer our community a new way to conduct business, share ideas, and find the support and courage needed for the work ahead.”

As plans were developing for future growth, Focus Groups were formed for “community” input. Three dozen, income-qualified participants were invited to a series of eight meetings. Participants were an average of 10 years younger than the community’s typical resident, and many were recently retired from nearby Purdue University. The discussions revolved around the questions, “ What do you desire in your next living space?” and “What would make people willing to leave their homes?”. The groups unanimously identified a well-designed fitness center as a critical element to attract new and younger retirees. This center has become a social hub and the bridge between the many levels of home environments offered at Westminster Village.
When designing for active-lifestyles, programing progressed for development of a new fitness center and three new independent living Hybrid Home apartment buildings. These generously sized, custom apartments aligned with the vision of the focus groups, and feature enclosed parking, secure lobbies and custom finishes. The question of, “What would make someone willing to leave their home?” had been answered. Custom home units surrounded by incredible fitness amenities, or vice-versa. All units were occupied within the first year, and there is currently a waiting list of 180 potential new IL residents.
Geometric floor tiles guide prospective tenants to the fully renovated leasing office.

Love where you live. A short walk on any path amid the rolling hills of this picturesque campus, and it is evident why the residents of Friends Fellowship love where they live. In contrast, when you stepped inside the doors of the IL wing one would have found a dated entry, lacking in identity and orientation. This is no longer the case! All the ambiance that is on the outside is now part of the day to day life on the inside. Warm wood tones, a rustic fireplace, custom carpets and upscale furniture create a modern elegance in this new destination space. A concierge’s desk serves residents and welcomes guests into the completely renovated administration area and connecting corridors. Pam Merchanthouse, Vice President of Customer Service states, “Having someone to greet guests when they enter, just starts the feeling here. It feels like home.”
