The Club at Briarcliff Manor, a new $ 350 million retirement community under development in the Village of Briarcliff Manor, is creating a new community before its even built.
Integrated Development Group, the developer of the Continuing Care Retirement Community, has launched a unique multi-faceted program to introduce its future residents or Members -- to the lifestyle they will be enjoying at The Club at Briarcliff Manor long before they move into their new residences three years from now.
The new program, called Ageless at The Club, provides Members with an opportunity to begin participating immediately in a wide range of fitness, educational and cultural programming. Members receive a monthly calendar of activities such as yoga lessons, literature club discussions, computer classes, gardening and a walking club.
Members will also enjoy an active schedule of events where they can meet fellow Members and develop friendships with their future neighbors. Activities include luncheons, summer barbeques, holiday parties, culinary events and wine tastings. The program is being offered to Members who have selected their future residence at The Club.
The Club at Briarcliff Manor is partnering with local organizations and educational institutions such as Club Fit, the Jacob Burns Film Center and Westchester Community College as part of this program. Examples of programs for Members include a six-week Literature Series at Westchester Community College; complimentary tickets for special screenings at Jacob Burns Film Center with celebrity Q&As and receptions; and introductory classes for Tai Chi, Aquacise and Yoga at Club Fit.
By engaging our Members in programs and activities before they move in, we are creating a sense of community at The Club that will continue to grow as we near occupancy in 2013. Whether its taking classes at Westchester Community College or attending a film series at the Jacob Burns Film Center, future Members of The Club will be engaged in their community, continuing their active and fulfilling lives, said Matthew K. Phillips, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Development Group (IDG), which is developing The Club at Briarcliff Manor.
