PHOTOS: Ribbon cut at new high-end senior living community in Potomac Yard

The ribbon was cut at a new high-end senior living community today (Wednesday) in Alexandria’s Potomac Yard neighborhood.

The Riviera, a new 129-unit senior apartment building at 2700 Main Line Blvd, is located directly across the street from its sister community, The Landing, which opened in 2022. Both properties are owned by Texas-based Silverstone Senior Living.

Monthly lease rates at The Riviera for a one-bedroom residence start at $7,595 and $11,995 for two-bedroom units, according to the building’s website. The community is pet-friendly and “tailored specifically for adults age 62 and better in a country club atmosphere,” according to Silverstone.

Jamie Houston, the executive director at both properties, said life at the facility is centered around engagement, wellness and meaningful connections.

“Residents will enjoy lifelong learning instructor-led classes, live entertainment, social programming and excursions,” Houston said. “Residents will also enjoy access to a full-service salon and spa, concierge service and a complimentary valet, a golf simulator and transportation.”

The Riviera is managed by Greystone Properties and currently employs 30 full-time staff, with plans to add 56 more jobs when at full capacity. As of the opening, 21 of the building’s 129 units have been leased, according to staff.

“It’s especially gratifying in the city of Alexandria to allow people that have dedicated their lives to servicing this community and serving us, to flip that around and us serve them,” said Bobby Zeiller, CEO of Silverstone Senior Living.

Silverstone also owns The Providence in Fairfax and The Trillium in Tysons Corner.
