After topping off at the beginning of the year, Ryan Cos.’ largest senior living project to date is nearing completion. The 281-unit Clarendale Clayton in St. Louis will be the company’s tallest development built using cold-formed metal framing. The $120 million luxury project is slated for delivery next month. 

Clarendale Clayton is Ryan Cos.’ second senior housing development within the city, built in partnership with LCS and Harrison Street Real Estate Capital. According to St. Louis County records, the joint venture acquired the land in April 2019, with the groundbreaking following shortly after. Wells Fargo Bank provided an $80 million construction loan for the project.

The community is within walking distance of the Clayton Road retail corridor and provides easy access to Interstate 170. Downtown St. Louis is less than 9 miles east. The local branch of SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital and Oak Knoll Park are within 2 miles of the community.
