PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: From Nursing Home to Neighborhood Gem

In 2024, River Park Apartments officially opened its doors in Glendale, Wisconsin. JM Remodeling partnered with Thrive Architects to transform this former nursing home into an 82,000+ square foot multifamily community offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom units.

Our design team reimagined the structure inside and out—creating a modern living experience while maintaining the original window placement. The site’s connection to the Milwaukee River and Oak Leaf Trail inspired an experiential approach, emphasizing connection to nature and community.

Residents now enjoy thoughtfully designed amenities including a spacious lobby with an expansive fireplace, community room, fitness center, laundry facility, pet wash, and newly configured detached garages.
