A new, high-end seniors housing community is under construction in St. Johns, Florida, by Quality Senior Living, a major Southeast owner, operator and developer. The Blake at St. Johns will feature 70 assisted living and 48 memory care units, with an array of amenities. Construction began in March 2022, and pre-leasing is already underway before its scheduled opening in early 2024. QSL Management will operate the community, which is expected to cost $35 million, or just under $300,000 per unit.
Designed by Arrive Architecture Group, the two-story, 115,000 square foot building is set around two landscaped interior courtyards and will include restaurant-style dining, a piano bar and lounge, a coffee and ice cream shop, a full-service salon and spa, on-site therapy services, a chapel, a theater room and outdoor fire pavilions. There are one- and two-bedroom unit options, along with balconies, porches, walk-in closets and pantries. The Blake at St. Johns is also strategically located close to the Mayo Clinic, St. Johns Town Center, Johns Creek Center and St. Johns Golf & Country Club.
