The Village of St. Edward, the longtime senior facility in Fairlawn, and Signet Real Estate Group recently celebrated the opening of a new site in Wadsworth.

Signet Real Estate Group, a unit of investment and development firm Signet LLC of Akron, is the owner and developer of the $21.6 million, 106-unit senior living center, which is operated by the Village of St. Edward, according to a news release.

Signet, which specializes in health care and higher education projects, moved into the realm of senior living facilities for the first time with the Village of St. Edward project, a Signet spokesman said.

Founded by the Diocese of Cleveland and the Sisters of St. Dominic of Akron in 1964, the Village of St. Edward had been looking to expand its reach as the population ages and the demand for senior care grows. St. Edward plans to open 126-unit facility in Green by late this year, a spokeswoman for the organization said. For that project, St. Edward is working with DeHoff Development Co.

The Wadsworth facility features three levels of care in separate wings: independent living, assisted living and memory care, the release said. The facility anticipates employing 50 full-time workers, according to the Village of St. Edward website.

Andrews Architects, Lewis Land Professionals, Mosaic Design and Pride One Construction were involved in the design and construction of the site, the release said.

“Everyone involved with the project, from the folks at St. Edward to city officials and other project partners, has been instrumental in finishing this project well,” Kevin Belt, vice president of development at Signet Real Estate Group, said in a statement. “They have been wonderful to work with, and we look forward to a long successful partnership.”

John Stoner, president and CEO of the Village of St. Edward, said, “We very much appreciate Signet, particularly working with their people, for providing the opportunity for senior living alternatives for the people of the Wadsworth area.”

Signet Real Estate Group officially celebrated the grand opening of their senior living community project last week, in partnership with the Village of St. Edward, in Wadsworth, Ohio. The celebratory opening was commemorated during a ribbon-cutting and VIP reception at the facility on March 8th, attended by over 150 guests.

The $21.6 million project is the first phase of St. Edward’s plan to expand their footprint as the demand for quality senior care begins to grow. The new community offers three levels of senior care: independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The facility features three distinct wings for independent, assisted, and memory care living that all share common areas.

Signet Real Estate Group, which has decades of experience in serving the healthcare industry, as well as planned living and student housing communities, is the owner and developer for the project, while the Village of St. Edward operates the facility.

Design and construction partners on the project included Andrews Architects, Lewis Land Professionals, Mosaic Design, and Pride One Construction.

At the opening event, John Stoner, President and CEO of The Village of St. Edward, described his excitement about opening a senior community in Wadsworth and said that Signet had been a great partner throughout the process. “We very much appreciate Signet, particularly working with their people, for providing the opportunity for senior living alternatives for the people of the Wadsworth area,” said Stoner.

The Village of St. Edward, founded in 1964 and headquartered in Fairlawn, Ohio, is recognized as one of Northeast Ohio’s most respected private facilities for senior care.

“We are thrilled to partner with such a respected organization as the Village of St. Edward,” said Anthony (Tony) Manna, Chairman of Signet LLC. “We know this facility will be a wonderful home for many and we are happy to help deliver it to the Wadsworth community.”
