Construction on The Terraces at Westhills, an extension of our campus that will consist of eighteen twinhomes for a total of 36 individual homes, located west of Fifth Street in southern Rapid City, is well underway, bringing with it new housing options for seniors in the Black Hills. Work on The Terraces, which broke ground in early 2025, is progressing close to schedule, with minimal delays due to wintry weather. The project is expected to be completed in three phases.
A Solid Start for a Thriving Community
Currently, the project is in the grading phase, with the entire site undergoing soil testing to determine the exact placement of each future townhome. Floor plans of the twinhomes are being finalized based on the results of the soil testing, with some units receiving a lower walk out level based on the findings.
Other items that are complete or near completion are:
- Culverts for drainage are now nearly complete.
- The exterior design and exterior color selection for each townhome is also nearly complete.
- Contractors and subcontractors are being lined up, with details regarding pricing and design currently being discussed.
Meeting the Growing Need for Housing
The development of The Terraces aligns with Westhills Village’s commitment to providing high-quality senior care and an enriching lifestyle for our residents. The need for expanded housing has never been greater, as population growth and an aging demographic continues to rise throughout the Black Hills region. With more seniors seeking elevated living options, this expansion of Westhills’ properties ensures that more individuals can access the care and community they deserve.
Looking Ahead
With construction moving forward as planned, the Westhills Village team remains focused on maintaining a safe and efficient building process for current and future residents, contractors and subcontractors, and the Rapid City community at large. Please stay tuned for future updates about the progress on The Terraces at Westhills.
