Erickson Holds Grand Opening for $300M CCRC in Florida

Erickson Senior Living has held a grand opening ceremony and ceremonial ribbon-cutting for Siena Lakes, a community it developed and manages in North Naples, Florida.

Workers are building the continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in phases. The project’s first phase includes a clubhouse and two independent living buildings with 175 one- and two-bedroom apartment homes.

The community’s second phase, which is now under construction, is planned to have two similar independent living buildings with 180 apartments for residents. Future planned work includes adding a continuing care neighborhood in the third phase for assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care services; and a fourth phase that would add another independent living building.

Bessolo Design Group was the project’s architect, while Kaufman Lynn Construction is working as the project’s general contractor.
