Big Rock Partners Opens Second Senior Living Community
Big Rock Partners had cause for celebration this week, as its second senior living development opened in Florida, at a total cost of $82 million, or $343,000 per unit. Situated on nine acres (purchased in 2014 with the help of a $4.5 million loan from Sabra Health Care REIT) in the Walt Disney Company-developed master planned community of Celebration (Orlando MSA), the community features 151 independent living units, 55 assisted living units and 33 memory care units. Life Care Services operates the campus, which not only is pet-friendly, but comes with a host of amenities such as gourmet dining venues, a high-end cinema, indoor aquatic center and a rooftop bar, among others.

Not resting on its laurels following the recent $1.27 billion Freddie Mac financing it closed, Walker & Dunlop announced another financing, this time structuring a $68.2 million construction loan for a 318-unit senior living community to be built in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Big Rock Partners is at it again. Already developing a $75 million senior living project in Celebration, Florida and a $25 million project in Port Royal, South Carolina, the real estate investment management firm is set to begin construction of Atria at Villages of Windsor, a 318-unit senior living community in southern Palm Beach County. The 22.5-acre site, which Big Rock purchased for $10 million, happens to be the largest, and one of the last, entitled senior housing parcels in the county, where existing senior living communities were built on average 21 years ago. Designed by Gensler and to be constructed by Moss & Associates, the 425,000-square foot community will feature 186... Read More »Growing slow and steady
Big Rock Partners (BRP) certainly does its research when scouting for sites to develop seniors housing. We wrote a few months ago that BRP was building a $70 million, 225-unit senior living community in Celebration, Florida, a planned community developed by the Walt Disney Company in the 1990s. Intended as a family community, Disney had never zoned land for seniors housing (and there is none around for 15 miles), so as residents in Celebration are aging, an unmet need grew. Plus, Richard Ackerman, founder of BRP, secured an exclusive right to build seniors housing for eight years, including an option to build on an adjacent 20 acres. BRP plans to soon break ground on that project and open... Read More »Schedule a demo
