The framing has been completed for Brightview Concord River, a new 67,400 s/f assisted living community located at 199 Concord Rd. The $11.5 million design/build project is being developed by Shelter Development of Baltimore and will be operated by Brightview Senior Living. Pro Con Inc. of Manchester, N.H. is the architect and construction manager for the Concord River property.
This is Pro Con's second Brightview-constructed community in Massachusetts. The first Brightview-constructed community was a $20 million independent living community located in Danvers.
Brightview Concord River will have 61 apartments for assisted living and 23 apartments in a secure neighborhood for Alzheimer's and dementia care.
"The metal framing and the roof have been completed, the interior dry wall is scheduled to begin by the end of June, and the site work and utilities are nearing completion," stated Pro Con's project manager. "The project is on-target for the mid-November 2009 completion."
The two and a half-story apartment community will offer a variety of social, educational and recreational opportunities along with providing all services such as housekeeping, dining, transportation, and maintenance. Each resident will have a personal care plan with physical assistance services tailored to individual needs. Design plans call for the community to have two elegant dining rooms, two living rooms, a large multi-purpose/activity room, a café/bar, a beauty/barber salon, and several other amenity spaces. Once open the community will offer more than 100 full and part-time employment opportunities.
