We are excited to announce the closing and groundbreaking of two flagship senior living communities in partnership with Nuveen Real Estate: The Reserve Cherry Creek in Denver, Colorado, and The Reserve Strathmore Square in North Bethesda, Maryland.
These landmark projects represent our continued investment, alongside Nuveen, in creating thoughtfully designed, mold-breaking environments for older adults. Both communities will be operated by Experience Senior Living (ESL), our wholly owned subsidiary, under ESL’s premier brand, The Reserve. The Reserve is known for delivering refined residential experiences, exceptional wellness and culinary programming, and a deep commitment to fostering meaningful community connections.
A Pivotal Moment for Our Senior Living Platform
“The Cherry Creek and Strathmore Square projects mark a pivotal moment in NexCore’s growth and the evolution of our senior living platform,” said Hunter MacLeod, Executive Vice President of Real Estate Development at NexCore Group. “These are two of the most desirable and competitive markets in the country, and our entry into them underscores both the strength of our development capabilities and the demand for high-quality, lifestyle-oriented senior living. Each community has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of its location while meeting the needs and aspirations of today’s residents.”
The Reserve Cherry Creek: Elevated Urban Living in the Heart of Denver
Located in one of Denver’s most desirable neighborhoods, The Reserve Cherry Creek will offer residents a vibrant, walkable lifestyle with easy access to dining, cultural attractions, and outdoor recreation.

Meeting the Market Demand for Next-Generation Senior Living
“There is a clear gap in the market for senior living communities that combine elevated hospitality, wellness, and design in walkable, highly desirable neighborhoods,” said Michael Ray, Chief Investment Officer at NexCore Group. “These developments directly address that unmet demand. By creating spaces that reflect how today’s older adults want to live — connected, active, and engaged — we’re not only enhancing quality of life for residents but also creating lasting value for our partners and investors.”
“Nuveen Real Estate is excited to expand its relationship with NexCore and ESL through the groundbreaking of these two marquis senior living communities in Cherry Creek and North Bethesda,” said Andrew Pyke, Head of Healthcare Real Estate at Nuveen Real Estate. “These communities showcase the first-class, experience-oriented approach NexCore and ESL bring to senior living and Nuveen’s conviction in developing next-generation communities to serve the fast-growing cohort of seniors in these markets.”

Together, The Reserve Cherry Creek and The Reserve Strathmore Square exemplify our mission to redefine senior living by combining thoughtful development, inspired design, and operational excellence — transforming how and where older adults experience community.
