New businesses, including senior living center, coming to Andover’s Heritage development

Andover’s Heritage development is taking a big step forward with new businesses and a buyer for about three acres where a senior independent living facility is going to open.

“We’re just getting started even though we’ve been working on it for quite a while,” said developer Jerry Jones.

There are already two housing developments built along with Heritage Square, the city’s first 5-story building that includes apartments, public parking and commercial spaces.

With one tenant open and two more scheduled for next year, the commercial property on the first floor under the apartments is about 50% leased with a booth-rental nail salon and aesthetic business, a dentistry office and a restaurant. There’s an optometry practice under construction to the north of Heritage Square, an area that Jones called ideal for more professional offices.

Salina housing developer Overland Property Group, which has affordable and market-rate family and senior developments across the middle part of the country, is getting close to the permitting stage for the Residence at Heritage West.
