The Briarwood Community, a senior living center in Worcester, has completed a $23-million expansion, adding 24 apartments.

The new independent-living apartments bring the complex's total to 88, along with 105 cottages and 24 assisted-living apartments. The expansion, which began in August 2018, adds a new memory-care neighborhood and cafe, and includes renovations to the main dining room.

The expansion was aided by a tax-exempt bond of nearly $18 million from MassDevelopment, the state's finance and development agency issuing the bond. Those new units will join 169 independent living apartments and cottages, 24 assisted-living apartments and an 82-bed skilled nursing center.

Briarwood's 52-acre facility is located at 65 Briarwood Circle off Mountain Street East. A grand opening ceremony is scheduled for Saturday.
