PROCON and Shelter Group on schedule for $30 million Brightview Senior Living Community in Canton, Mass.

Brightview Senior Living Community, 125 Turnpike Street - Canton, MA

Canton, MA Brightview Senior Living Community located at 125 Turnpike St. is on schedule for completion this summer. The community is situated 15 miles from Boston and lies at the foot of Great Blue Hill, located within the Blue Hills Preservation. The project was developed by The Shelter Group, a firm located in Baltimore. PROCON of Manchester, NH was selected as the designer and construction manager for the $30 million project. This is the seventh collaboration between PROCON and The Shelter Group on Brightview senior housing in Massachusetts since 2012.

Plans call for 160 residential units including 95 independent living apartments, 40 dedicated apartments for assisted living and 25 for Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Brightview communities also offer a specialized program and environment for dementia care known as Wellspring Village, designed to enhance the lives of those living with memory limitations. This location will serve Canton, Milton, Sharon, Westwood, Randolph, Norwood, Dedham and the surrounding areas.

Construction began on the 167,000 s/f community occupying 29 acres in December 2014. Due to the general size and layout of the building, work was divided into three overall areas. The current status of construction ranges from finishes in the first area to the hanging of drywall in the third area. Each Brightview community is unique in its architecture and layout. The Canton community was designed to echo the style of New England’s historical Victorian mansions – with a mansard roof, porches, turrets and dormer windows with top quality construction and high-end finishes. The project manager said, “It’s strong exterior Victorian influences required a meticulous attention to detail and a high level of coordination. It has been a rewarding process to see the whole thing come together so well.”
