South Bay Partners, Ltd. and Integrated Real Estate Group (IREG) have announced plans for a senior living community that will provide a full continuum of care in San Antonio. 

The two companies expect to break ground this spring on a 192-apartment, 26-villa independent living community—Watercrest at Alamo Ranch—and a 105-unit, 122-bed assisted living and memory care community, Isle at Watercrest at Alamo Ranch.

The $60 million project will be located on 22 acres along Alamo Ranch Parkway and Westwood Loop in San Antonio.

The combined efforts of both South Bay Partners and IREG include campuses that combine independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing and Alzheimer’s facilities, like the community now planned for San Antonio. 

Indiana Senior Housing Community Planned with Tax Credit Help

Logansport City Council recently approved an amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance to allow senior housing on the ground floor of buildings in the city’s downtown, reports Pharos Tribune. 

Indianapolis-based Crestline Communities received a pledge of $6 million in tax credits from the state to transform the former McKinley school on Meadlawn Ave. into a 38-unit senior housing facility.

A 162-page market study commissioned by Crestline Communities in October revealed that there is a demand for age 55 and older households looking for apartments in the area. 

The Crestline project would fill about 8.6% of overall senior housing demand, according to Crestline President James Wilson, who expects the senior housing at McKinley to lease up within five to six months upon completion.

Currently, the planning department has yet to hear from any developers for downtown, reports the Tribune.

Investors, Developer Partner for Assisted Living & Memory Care Project

With the help of 15 local investors, a Lake Oconee, Georgia senior living community looks to break ground later this month. 

In partnership with Thrive Senior Living LLC, The Harbor at Harmony Crossing Assisted Living and Memory Care will be the product of investors from Green and Putnam Counties, along with developer Lowell White. 

The Harbor will contain 60 individual resident suites with approximately 41,000-square-feet in single-story construction, and will also be the first new facility in the surrounding area in over 15 years. 

Cutting edge technology will be integrated with the goal of sustaining resident quality of life, accurately tracking the health of residents, and boosting resident’s connectivity to their family and friends, as well as their physicians.

Pricing for The Harbor at Harmony Crossing will be “inclusive” and residents will not be subject to arbitrary rate fluctuations because of varying care levels.

Charlie Vill of Oconee Construction will serve as General Contractor. Financing for the project is being provided by State Bank and Trust based in Macon, Georgia. 

The community is scheduled to break ground March 2013, and is expected to be open for business in early 2014.
