Celebrating a Year of Community, Connection & Exceptional Living
It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since The Bailey at Bridge Park opened as the first senior living community in Dublin’s dynamic Bridge Park. More than just a luxury apartment building, it has become a thriving hub of connection, wellness and fulfillment for the active, 55-and-over crowd who call it home.
Since its grand opening in late 2024, The Bailey — a partnership between Crawford Hoying and Friendship Village of Dublin — has welcomed residents into a lifestyle that blends luxury and independence with the energy of Dublin’s most dynamic neighborhood. Designed for comfort and community, the six-story building’s 87 luxury apartments have quickly filled with neighbors eager to embrace a new chapter of life in Bridge Park.
A Year of Meaningful Moments
In just twelve months, The Bailey has:
- Created a community where residents gather for morning exercise classes on the outdoor entertainment deck, walks through Bridge Park, dinners at local restaurants and celebrations in the building’s shared spaces.
- Sparked intergenerational connection with nearby families and young professionals, thanks to its open-air plaza and Bridge Park’s lively mix of shops, dining and cultural experiences.
- Welcomed new traditions, from holiday gatherings to art and wellness programs inspired by Friendship Village of Dublin’s 40-year commitment to enriching lives.
From Vision to Vibrant Living
“For us, The Bailey is more than a milestone — it’s a dream realized,” says Rita Doherty, Chief Executive Officer of Friendship Village of Dublin. “We set out to create a place where seniors could enjoy the vibrance of Bridge Park while feeling connected and supported. One year later, it’s heartwarming to see Residents building friendships, staying active and truly loving where they live.”
The Future of 55+ Living, at The Bailey
As The Bailey enters its second year, the momentum continues to grow. With nearly full occupancy and a calendar of Resident-driven activities, the community is poised to keep setting the standard for what senior living can look like — luxurious, engaging and connected to the heartbeat of Dublin.
“The Bailey enhances Bridge Park by bringing a vibrant 55+ community right into the heart of Dublin’s most dynamic neighborhood,” said Jesse Evans, District Property Manager at Bridge Park. “It adds a new dimension of energy, diversity and connection to an already thriving destination.”
