Plans call for Mirabella to have 281 units, including 224 independent living residences, 16 assisted living apartments, 20 skilled nursing private rooms and 21 special care private rooms. The development also will include clinic and research space, various amenities and social areas, and 244 parking spaces.

PRS, a non-profit corporation, plans to begin construction in spring 2008, with completion in summer or early fall 2010. Construction is expected to be handled by Hoffman Construction Co. and the design by Ankrom Moisan Associated Architects. Both companies are based in Portland.

As part of the agreement, OHSU and PRS hope to tap into the community's residents to study the physical, social, cognitive, psychological, environmental dimensions of aging, with the goal being improved care for elders.
