Bloomfield, CT Seabury – an active life community – marked a major milestone with a groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the launch of construction for The Collamore Wing, an expansion on its local campus.
The event was held on March 25 at Seabury’s campus, located at 200 Seabury Dr., and featured remarks from community leaders and project stakeholders.
The Collamore Wing is a 43,000 s/f, three-story addition that will include 24 new independent living apartments. This expansion not only increases Seabury’s residential capacity but also reflects its commitment to evolving with the needs and preferences of today’s older adults. The new wing will connect seamlessly to the existing south wing and include 28 covered parking spaces beneath the building. Construction is expected to be substantially complete by March 2026.
Jim Culkin, executive vice president of KBE Building Corp., addressed attendees during the ceremony. “I would like to thank Seabury for granting KBE Building Corp. another opportunity to contribute to its growing community. We are honored to take part in expanding its facility and creating high-quality housing for its residents. We’re especially pleased to know that the expansion is already seeing success, with the majority of the units already under contract. We’re excited to begin the process, working together with Seabury to build additional living spaces for its residents.”

This project underscores Seabury’s long-term strategic vision — balancing housing supply with financial sustainability while continuing to offer diverse, high-quality living options. By merging smaller one-bedroom units into larger, more spacious homes over time, Seabury has thoughtfully laid the groundwork for this expansion. The Collamore Wing will replenish the community’s total inventory, offering a variety of floor plans at accessible price points.
“Our organization’s ongoing strategic initiatives are not just about adapting to change, but anticipating it,” said Renee Bernasconi, president & CEO of Seabury. “Through thoughtful planning, we have aligned ourselves with ever-evolving consumer preferences, ensuring that we not only meet their demands but exceed their expectations. As we navigate this journey, we remain committed to financial stability, empowering us to grow while staying true to our purpose in a dynamic world.”
