Tom Swortzel, president of Baptist Homes Society, said that while a ceremonial groundbreaking was held in December, he expects construction on the continuing care retirement community to begin within a few weeks.

"We were really lucky to find this much flat land in Pittsburgh," said Swortzel. "It's one of the highest points in the area, and the views are just beautiful."

Providence Point is nestled on approximately 32 acres - adjacent to a 44-acre nature preserve protected by the Scott Conservancy.

Providence Point's 257 independent living apartments and patio homes will be situated on over 30 acres surrounded by green space owned by Scott Conservancy.

Their life care services provide health care if a resident's health needs change once they have moved into the complex.

Some of the amenities included in the community include underground parking, three restaurants, a wellness center with indoor pool, a day spa with manicure, massage, and salon facilities, library with internet access, theatre with surround sound, a multi-purpose community room, arts studio, classroom, billiards and game rooms, and courtyard with walking paths.
