The New York City Department of Housing Preservation plans to replace the five-story Valley Lodge senior housing that’s now on the site.

Some New York City developers are betting big on a wave of demand coming from seniors who want luxury homes in the city. Welltower Inc. and Hines, for example, is planning a 15-story senior living facility that will have apartments for as much as $20,00 a month.
