Retirement center doubling (DPo)

The Denver Post reports on the doubling in size of the Holly Creek Retirement Community in Cenennial. The name of the game in senior housing - er, active adult communties - is "independence" with tiered levels of services that aren't, well, terminal. A demographic tidbit:
As baby boomers age, the state's population age 65 and older will more than double from more than 400,000 in 2000 to more than 1 million by 2030, said Larry Armstrong, president of 50 Plus Marketing, a Denver-based consulting group that works with builders and retirement communities to identify active adult markets.
