Pro Con Inc. has begun framing for $20 million Brightview Retirement

The framing is underway for Brightview Retirement and Assisted Living, a senior living community located at 50 Endicott St. The $20 million project is being developed by the Shelter Development of Baltimore, MD and will be operated by Brightview Senior Living. JSA Architects Inc. is the project architect and Pro Con Inc. is the construction manager for the property, which will be one of three Brightview communities in Mass. The 165-unit Brightview community will feature independent living apartments ranging from studio to two-bedroom, two bath with den, many featuring balconies and patios. The apartments will range in size from 300 to 950 s/f and have a variety of floor plans. Along with 48 assisted living apartments, Brightview will also include a 24-unit Wellspring Village wing for Alzheimer's and other severe memory impairment, all under one roof. Brightview has applied for and is awaiting certification by the EOEA. The 3-story, 160,000 s/f apartment home community will offer a vibrant social environment where housekeeping, dining, transportation, and maintenance are provided by a caring staff. Plans call for the community to have a dining room, wellness/fitness center, on-site movie theater, beauty/barber salon and information center which will include a library and computer lab with internet. Pro Con began site work on the Brightview project in May and has scheduled a June 2008 completion date for the project.
