Success Stories

Legacy Village of Castle Pines, an independent living, assisted living and memory care luxury community located south of Denver, Colorado, was developed in 2019 and is managed by Western States Lodging, Management and Development. From opening through stabilization, the operational team guided the community to high performing excellence through consistent on-site leadership, implementation of Western States’ Personal Touch Culture and empowering operational discipline. The people-first approach built trust within the close-knit Castle Pines, Colorado community and positioned this retirement offering as a leader in senior living performance. Western States leadership equipped on-site leaders with authority to quickly adapt to market conditions which propelled the team to sustain a 93.5% average occupancy and over $1.25M in monthly revenue. Leadership stability and disciplined management enabled a successful refinance in December 2023, returning nearly 78% of original equity in a single distribution and reinforcing Western States’ ability to manage complex senior living assets for long-term value creation.
