Retirement Community Gets Major Dining Overhaul

FULLERTON, CA—Morningside of Fullerton, a continuing-care retirement community here, is undergoing an extensive renovation of its clubhouse dining facilities. The 13,500-square-foot dining and kitchen area, which encompasses the entire downstairs space of the community’s clubhouse, will be totally reimagined as part of a national trend toward cozier, more-casual dining for seniors, and GlobeSt.com has learned that total renovation costs are estimated to be $2.5 million.

Irvine-based KTGY Group Inc. designed the renovations, and Justin Wilson III, managing partner for Morningside, is overseeing them. Marina del Rey-based Cole Martinez Curtis and Associates is handling the interior design, while Irvine-based Culp Construction Co. is handling general contracting services. The renovations will be conducted in four phases in order to minimize disruption to the current dining service, with completion of all phases anticipated for late summer.
