Discovery Senior Living Announces Most Coveted Ticket in NYC July 4th at Its Iconic Senior Living Community "The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights"
Bonita Springs, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - July 3, 2025) - Discovery Senior Living, (Discovery, or the Company) a leading operator of senior living communities nationwide, is proud to spotlight one of its most iconic and architecturally distinct communities, The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights, as the ultimate destination for this year's Macy's 4th of July Fireworks in New York City. Offering a celebration like no other, in a setting that simply can't be replicated. With fireworks returning to the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge/Seaport corridor, the community's rooftop terrace offers residents an unobstructed, front-row seat to one of the nation's most beloved traditions, all without leaving home. But this view goes far beyond the fireworks. "This year's fireworks return to the East River is especially exciting for our residents, who will enjoy truly unmatched views of the skyline, Statue of Liberty, and East River from one of the most unique rooftops in all of New York," said Jennifer Tapner, Executive Director at The Watermark. "There's no better place to take in the show or to create lasting memories with family and friends." The rooftop is not just a rare amenity, it's a captivating space that reflects the essence of the community; vibrant, elevated, and full of possibility. Many resident apartments share the same breathtaking views, with private balconies that offer fresh air, the peaceful sounds of the river, and stunning vistas looking back at Lower Manhattan and the majestic Statue of Liberty. The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights is more than just a residence, it's a thriving, creative community where Grammy Award winners, actors, visual artists, and cultural leaders choose to live. From impromptu music performances to one of the borough's most sought-after Mahjong circles, every day offers a new opportunity to connect, create, and enjoy. Adding to its distinctive experience is the leadership of its Executive Director, who also lives onsite and serves as a concierge, ensuring the pulse of the community is always strong, and residents receive personalized attention and access to cultural, culinary, and wellness offerings throughout the city.

Henderson high-rise faces progress, setbacks
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – New paint, fixed windows, and fresh spackle indicate a long-troubled $50 million Henderson high-rise is moving in the right direction—regrettably, businesses are moving on. Yvonne Wallace, co-founder of Pacific Diner, was one of the last original businesses with an intent to lease for The Watermark. Following apparent issues with the property representatives regarding multiple changes. 'Due to the building going through bankruptcy, they were not able to uphold our original lease,' Wallace said. 'Therefore, after back and forth, we just were not able to meet in the middle and we have had to take our hat out of the ring for that.' The situation is unfortunate, according to Wallace, who has been an outspoken supporter of the property during a troubled year of inactivity. 'It's very sad, because we wanted to be on Water Street—I mean, who doesn't,' Yvonne said. 'But, you know, God's got us.' Henderson Councilman Jim Seebock told 8 News Now he was familiar with the update regarding Pacific Diner and was paying active attention to The Watermark's status. 'My whole goal is I want to see the completion and the opening of The Watermark. We are interested in seeing new residents move in so later the commercial floor can open, and we are almost at the finish line,' Seebock said. 'The City of Henderson is always interested in welcoming new business and supporting existing business.' The Watermark is expected to accept applications for new tenants this summer following the completion of the apartments, according to an update from Gillette Construction. It is unclear when the commercial floor will be open or which contractor is working on that part of the property. A few blocks down from The Watermark, Wallace said she still feels blessed to do business in their existing location. The point highlighted by a new business opening this week next door, Bajamar Seafood & Tacos. 'We just have amazing neighbors that just opened up a little bit ago,' she said. 'Bajamar down just a couple doors from us.' Wallace said Pacific Diner will remain an embodiment of her family and the origin story of her love—pointing to the framed lithograph rendering of the McDonalds where she met her husband. 'He said, 'I want to open my own restaurant,' and I said, 'Let's make it happen,'' Yvonne said. 'I had the faith, the love, and the courage to say, that's what we're going to do. And together, we did it.' Frames of family history, her children's drawings, and artist donations tell the Wallace family story. However, some things are still a secret—like the famous Water Street Burrito's recipe. 'I can't give away all the ingredients,' she said. 'Just know that everything is made in-house for that, and it's got some amazing green salsa made with love.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
