Capitol Seniors Housing to Build Clubhouse, Residences at Newly Acquired Community
Capitol Seniors Housing is poised to begin construction this summer on a clubhouse and seven new residential buildings with 119 homes at Siena, an active living community in Cinnaminson Township, New Jersey. Capitol Seniors Housing recently acquired the 15-acre property, which consists of five buildings with a total of 85 occupied residences.
Existing and new homes at Siena are all two-bedroom models that ranging from more than 1,110 square feet to more than 1,870 square feet. The new homes will have large floorplans, laundry rooms and other new amenities. The residences also will have contemporary designs and finishes such as granite countertops, plank flooring, stainless appliances and custom cabinetry.
As planned, the new clubhouse will have a fitness center, yoga studio, great room, card room, new patio areas, new landscaping and new signage. Cove Property Management will manage the community.
Construction crews are expected to start work on the new clubhouse and residences this summer, and wrap up as early as next year.
