Mirabella at ASU

Mirabella at ASU sits at the edge of the Arizona State University Tempe campus in a highly urban, walkable setting near University Drive and Mill Avenue. The community is designed as a university-based retirement community, linking older adults to campus life, classes, lectures, arts, and student interaction rather than a traditional stand-alone senior residence. ASU describes it as a place where residents can participate in lifelong learning and intergenerational programs, with access to campus amenities and opportunities to engage with students, faculty, and university events. The community opened in late 2020 and was planned as a large, mixed-care retirement setting with independent living and on-site health care services. ASU reporting described the building as a 20-story, 613,000-square-foot project with 239 independent-living apartments and 59 health care units, plus indoor wellness and recreation spaces, theater and gallery programming, and multiple dining venues. Resident life appears centered on staying active, social, and intellectually engaged through classes, volunteer work, mentorship, performances, and resident-organized activities. The surrounding area adds convenience and energy, with downtown Tempe restaurants, ASU Gammage, and campus destinations nearby. This is a fit for residents who want a highly connected, academic-oriented environment with easy access to city amenities and a continuum of care on site.
