GRAND OPENING CEREMONY TO BE HELD FOR THE COMMONS AT ST. ANTHONY’S

Historic former St. Anthony’s Hospital site begins new chapter as an

affordable, active adult housing community

AMARILLO, TEXAS — Community leaders, project partners and local stakeholders will gather to

celebrate the grand opening of The Commons at St. Anthony’s, a transformative redevelopment project

that is bringing high-quality, affordable housing for active adults ages 55 and older to Amarillo’s North

Height’s neighborhood.

Located on the site of the historic St. Anthony’s Hospital campus, The Commons at St. Anthony’s is

providing 124 affordable apartment homes for active adults, including studio, one-bedroom, and two bedroom

units. The development also features community gathering spaces, fitness and business

centers, an outdoor gazebo and gardens designed to support active and connected living.

Established in 1901, St. Anthony’s Hospital was the first hospital in Potter County and served as a

cornerstone of healthcare in the Texas Panhandle for nearly a century. The hospital housed the region’s

first nursing school, cared for residents through the Great Depression, and trained nurses who served

during both World Wars.

Following its merger with High Plains Baptist Hospital in 1996, operations gradually transitioned to the

Baptist campus, and the St. Anthony’s campus remained vacant after its closure in 2004. Through this

redevelopment effort, the historic property has been revitalized to help address Amarillo’s growing need

of affordable housing while preserving an important piece of the community’s history.

Celebrate the property’s new beginning.

The public will be invited and welcomed for tours of the facility on Sat., June 27 at 10:00a.m.
