A total of 69 contemporary one- and two-bedroom apartments have been built on Ellesmere Road on behalf of The Wrekin Housing Trust.
The units are designed for local people over 55 and feature high-quality communal facilities including a residents' lounge and coffee bar, roof terrace, landscaped gardens and a restaurant/café.
The first residents are expected to move in later this month.

Lovell regional managing director Stuart Penn said: "We were delighted to welcome the Mayor of Shrewsbury Cllr Ioan Jones to help mark the completion of this exceptional development, our first independent living scheme for The Wrekin Housing Trust. Lovell has a strong record of building high-quality homes for older residents and has brought this expertise to Withywood by creating flexible and stylish, well-planned interiors.
"With the population now living longer, the availability of this style of modern accommodation enabling people to live independently and enjoy an excellent quality of life, but access support when they need it, becomes increasingly important."
Mayor Jones added: "I welcome the development of community living for older people which provides them with security, companionship and the reassurance of assistance being close at hand. Withywood's location will also enable residents to access the town easily."
