The Glenmere expansion was erected on the west side of The Village at Rockville's campus adjutant to the Health Center. The Village at Rockville's Executive Director Kyle Hreben shared, "As an organization, our mission is to honor, inspire and support choice and opportunity in partnership with older adults. As we evaluated what older adults are looking for in a community, we knew we needed to build apartment homes to give an array of housing choices and new common area amenities that allow for a more connected experience for residents."
