Developed in 2014,the community features 19 independent living units, 46 assisted living units and 25 memory care units; multiple spacious common areas, a large roof deck and state-of-the-art lifestyle technologies throughout the building.

According to research from the Newmark Seniors Housing Group, the Boston market is in a favorable position to succeed post-pandemic given the advantageous supply and demand fundamentals. As of the third quarter of 2020, there were only 474 units under construction which is the second lowest of any top 15 MSA, trailing only San Francisco.
