Plans have been announced for a new senior community in Olympia that will include one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, heated parking, and amenities such as a fitness center, outdoor gardening, and decks or patios.

The project is by Real Estate Equities, an Eagan, Minn.-based company, and is one of 34 village cooperatives that are under construction or scheduled for construction in the next year in eight states. As cooperatives, the residents control all aspects of ownership and operations.
