Renovations to the wound-down assisted living wing remain underway, though the largest capital improvement planned for the senior living complex has yet to break ground.

A multimillion-dollar updating of one of Richmond’s longest-running senior living communities is in the works following a $75 million purchase last week.
Imperial Plaza, a gated complex totaling hundreds of units in the city’s Northside, is being renamed and reimagined as a so-called “active adult” community after its sale Thursday to an out-of-town joint venture.
The new owners are Bluestone Group, a New York-based commercial real estate investment firm, and frequent collaborator Brentwood Investment Group, based in New Jersey.
The four multistory buildings at 1717 Bellevue Ave., beside Interstate 95 across from Bryan Park, are being rebranded as “Legacy at Imperial Village,” which Brentwood partner Barry Zolty described as an updated version of the 1960s-era facility that he said will cater to today’s 55-and-up demographic.
