An affiliate of the Westlake Village-based developer contacted the appropriate parties to invest in the development with the California Investment Group.
The plans include penthouses, villas, and apartments with options of one to three bedrooms with either underground or attached-garage parking.

According to the announcement written by Dana Bartholomew of CIG, the retirement village will offer a gourmet restaurant, athletic courts, movie theater, wine bar, fitness room, learning center, medical suites, walking trails, a rooftop lounge, pool and spa.
