Construction of Brightview North Andover, a new senior living community located at 1275 Turnpike Rd. is nearing completion. The $19.8 million project is being developed by Shelter Development and will be operated by Brightview Senior Living. Pro Con Inc is the project architect and construction manager for the project, which will be the fifth Brightview community in Massachusetts.
"The commercial kitchen is being installed and the interior and exterior finishes are in the final stages," said the project manager for Pro Con Inc. "The landscaping along the tiered 20-foot high retaining wall, which is located behind the building, has been installed. We continue to be on schedule for an August completion date."
The 4-story, 140,530 s/f senior living community will offer a vibrant social environment where housekeeping, dining, transportation, and maintenance are provided by a caring staff. Brightview North Andover will have 133 units including 65 apartments for independent living, 41 apartments for assisted living and 27 apartments for Alzheimer's and dementia care. The apartments, which are all under one roof, will offer the residents a variety of floor plans and care options.
The community will feature full-service independent living apartments on a monthly rental basis with no large entrance fee. The all-inclusive monthly fee will include private 1 or 2-bedroom apartment homes, exterior and interior maintenance including appliances, full kitchens, washer/dryer, housekeeping, chef-prepared meals, transportation, utilities, a full-time program director to coordinate daily programs and social events. Community amenities will include a fitness center, beauty/barber shop, internet café, pub, movie theater and game room.
Pro Con Inc began site work on Brightview North Andover in February 2012 and the senior living community is scheduled to open later this summer.
