Civitas Plans Arizona Project With Developer Desert Land

Civitas Senior Living and developer Desert Land Group have announced plans for a new senior living community in Flagstaff, Arizona.

The community, dubbed The Bluffs of Flagstaff, will have 202 residences offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. Amenities include an indoor pool, putting green, interior courtyard, pub and lounge, a fitness gym, an outdoor cooking area and dog parks.

Developer Plans Communities to Meet Middle Market

Senior Living Development has announced a forthcoming mid-market assisted living and memory care pipeline. The company currently has three sites under contract and is securing additional sites in urban areas throughout the “tri-state” of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut and New England.

The rental, private-pay communities will have rates that are approximately 30% less than the the typical luxury assisted living or memory care project, its backers said. The communities are designed with a semi-private room concept tailored to urban areas and, more specifically, Opportunity Zones, which carry tax advantages.

Amenities will include health and wellness offerings, a bistro, media room, library, arts and crafts, hairdressing, a nurse station and a sundry store.
