    CHANDLER, AZ, March 31, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Known for delivering luxurious senior living at an affordable price, Denver-based Spectrum Retirement Communities, LLC announces that construction is under way on its newest senior community, at 1601 West Queen Creek Road in Chandler, with Scottsdale-based MT Builders Companies spearheading the project and Gastinger Walker Harden + BeeTriplett Buck as architect.

Located on the south side of Queen Creek Road, half a mile west of Alma School Road, Gardens at Ocotillo Senior Living is set to open in May 2015.

Gardens at Ocotillo is Spectrum's third community in Arizona. All residences within the 135,000-square-foot community have been planned to maximize health, independence, security and peace of mind, while also compassionately supporting those who need more assistance.

Resident move-in at Gardens at Ocotillo is scheduled for June 2015.
