The provider plans to break ground on a 34-unit expansion for its community in Darien, Connecticut, in late summer 2017.

The expansion will increase Maplewood at Darien’s 66-unit community to 97 units. The interior design will “carry the same Newport Inn style of elegance and sophistication seen throughout the entire community,” a press release reads.

Maplewood also recently closed on a 27-acre parcel of land in Southport, Connecticut, where it will start construction on a 98-unit assisted living and memory care community this summer.

“Pre-sales for Del Webb’s two communities started April 22 and a remarkable 14 homes have been sold to date,” said Chris Edgar, Division President for Del Webb in Southern California. “Between the two sold-out informational sales seminars and queries from our interest lists, these two actively sought neighborhoods are proving the demand for 55+ housing in this region, and are a testament to the community as a whole.”
