Pro Con Inc nears completion of $11.5 million Brightview Concord River Assisted Living

Construction is nearly complete for the Brightview Concord River Assisted Living Community. The new 67,400 s/f community will offer assisted living and a dementia care program for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of memory impairment. 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 is the architect and construction manager for the property, which will be the second Brightview-constructed community in Massachusetts. "We are working on the interior finishes and the exterior landscaping," according to Pro Con's project manager. "The design build project remains on-target for the mid-November completion." The Brightview community is scheduled to open later this month. Brightview Concord River will have 58 assisted living apartments and 26 apartments for Alzheimer's and dementia care. The apartments, which are all under one roof, will range in size from 300 to 950 s/f and offer the residents a variety of floor plans and service options. The two and a half-story apartment 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 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 which will provide for a vibrant lifestyle.
