Massive 80-Acre Campus Coming to Ooltewah
Thrive Senior Living is set to transform the landscape of Ooltewah, Tennessee, with an ambitious 80-acre development located on Snow Hill Road. This expansive project aims to provide a comprehensive continuum of care, featuring 400 total units. The site will offer a mix of 55+ single-family residences, independent living cottages, apartment-style housing, assisted living, and dedicated memory care services. By partnering with RP Communities for home construction and securing financing through WesBanco, Thrive intends to deliver a hospitality-focused environment that keeps seniors connected to their families and clinical providers. Alan Moise, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Thrive, noted that the site, formerly known as the Brooks Dairy, perfectly aligns with their goal of addressing the urgent regional demand for high-quality housing.
Memory Care Innovations in Massachusetts and Ohio
Rogerson Communities is advancing its mission in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, thanks to a $665,000 grant from the Charles H. Farnsworth Trust and Bank of America. This funding supports the massive redevelopment of the historic Rogerson House, replacing outdated facilities with a state-of-the-art six-story building. The new campus will house 41 affordable independent living units alongside 66 memory care beds, complemented by a fitness center and 20,000 square feet of outdoor space.
Similarly, Judson Senior Living is modernizing its South Franklin Circle campus in Ohio. The provider is introducing a specialized memory care neighborhood featuring small-home models designed to integrate cutting-edge safety technology. With a target completion date of late 2027, the project will serve 36 residents, emphasizing a person-centered approach to care that prioritizes dignity and emotional well-being, according to President & CEO Kendra J. Urdzik.
Luxury Growth in Delaware and Florida
Strategic partnerships continue to drive industry growth, exemplified by the joint venture between REDICO and Ciel Senior Living. The duo is developing a premium community in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, featuring 144 luxury suites spanning independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with a grand opening slated for 2028. REDICO CEO Dale Watchowski highlighted this project as a key component of their broader strategy to utilize institutional capital in high-demand markets.
Meanwhile, in Venice, Florida, Village On The Isle is breaking ground on a 50-acre satellite campus. This resort-style development will offer 130 independent living apartments and 50 cottages. Residents can look forward to amenities such as a dog park, pickleball and tennis courts, a kayak launch, and a massive 9,200 square-foot wellness center set to debut this summer.
