HJ Sims Secures Financing For D.C. CCRC

A CCRC in northwest Washington, D.C. is ready to expand, and in a big way. Currently featuring 127 independent living units, seven assisted living units and 60 skilled nursing beds, not-for-profit Ingleside at Rock Creek faced a growing wait list and limited health care services. So, a couple of years ago, ownership decided it was time to grow, with a plan to add 105 IL units, 32 memory care units, 34 skilled nursing suites, 21 assisted living units and therapy/rehab spaces.

Luxury Senior Living In Salt Lake City

Luxury Senior Living In Salt Lake City

A luxury assisted living/memory care community recently opened in Salt Lake City, Utah, and hopes to stand out among its competitors for not only its care, but its look too. Interior designer, studioSIX5, and architect AJC Architects designed the 148-unit community with an eye for its surrounding environment in view of the Wasatch Range, with many resident rooms designed to highlight the natural beauty. The community cost approximately $35 million, or $236,500 per unit, to develop, which is nearly equal to the average construction cost for the region of $233,700 per unit. We have not observed much seniors housing construction in the Salt Lake City MSA, at least on a relative basis, but... Read More »
