North Andover, MA – The steel framing is nearly complete at Brightview North Andover, a new senior living community located at 1275 Turnpike Road in North Andover. The $19.8 million project is being developed by Shelter Development of Baltimore, MD and will be operated by Brightview Senior Living. Pro Con Inc of Manchester, NH is the project architect and construction manager for the North Andover community, which will be the fifth Brightview community in Massachusetts.
“The wood framing is complete, the area is weather tight, and the mechanicals are on-going in the independent living wing of the building,” stated the project manager for Pro Con Inc. “The steel framing for the assisted living and memory impaired wings of the building is 90% complete and we will begin the steel roof trusses in early January.”
Also under construction is the extensive site retaining wall located behind the building. The concrete wall is 20 feet high and will be nearly 100 yards in length when it is fully completed.
Brightview North Andover will have 133 units including 65 apartments for independent living, 41 apartments for assisted living and 27 apartments for Alzheimer’s and dementia care. The apartments, which are all under one roof, will offer the residents a variety of floor plans and care options.
The 4-story, 140,530-s/f apartment home community will offer a vibrant social environment where housekeeping, dining, transportation, and maintenance are provided by a caring staff.
The community will feature full-service Independent Living apartments on a monthly rental basis with no large entrance fee. The all-inclusive monthly fee will include private 1 or 2-bedroom apartment homes, exterior and interior maintenance including appliances, full kitchens, washer/dryer, housekeeping, chef-prepared meals, transportation, utilities, a full-time Program Director to coordinate daily programs and social events. Community amenities will include a fitness center, beauty/barber shop, internet café, pub, movie theater and game room.
Pro Con Inc began site work on Brightview North Andover in February 2012 and the senior living community is scheduled to open in the summer of 2013.
