2Life Communities: Opus Newton

Opus Newton brings a fresh approach to middle-market senior living, creating a warm, hospitality-inspired environment from the moment you step inside. Classic wingback chairs, natural light, and inviting textures set the tone for a campus designed around comfort and connection.

The 175-unit community is co-located with a low-income residence and community center, forming neighborhood with access to wellness, dining, and cultural programming. Working with Perkins Eastman and more than 40 vendor partners, elevated design was blended with the durability senior living requirements that include treated fabrics, hidden moisture barriers, and vetted materials, all work together to create elevated spaces built to last. It’s a careful balance that keeps the space feeling refined while standing up to everyday use.

Across the gathering spaces, salon, art room, gym, yoga studio, patios, and private balconies, the goal was simple: create spaces where residents can connect, move, and feel at home. As senior living continues to grow and evolve, projects like this show how thoughtful details can elevate both the experience and the longevity of the space.
