ORLANDO—LandSouth Construction just started construction on the third and final phase of a senior living community in Bonita Springs, FL. Developed by American House, the healthcare real estate project is worth $13.8 million.

American House Senior Living Communities. Progressive Associates is the architect of Tuscan style three-story building featuring 88 independent one- and two-bedroom private multifamily homes, as well as two-bedroom apartments with a den.  

“This is really upscale independent senior living,” LandSouth senior vice president of development Joe Passkiewicz tells GlobeSt.com. “The project features large residences with fashionable finishes, concierge service, dining facilities and a large veranda that offers seating for outdoor dining, with a kitchen/grill and other areas for residents to enjoy the outdoors with families and guests.”

Upscale is the right word. The third phase of the project is home to an elegant dining room and a casual bistro, as well as outdoor swimming pool with lounge areas, a putting green and bocce ball court, exercise room with cardiovascular and resistance weight machines, beauty salon with spa and massage room, laundry service, community rooms for group activities and family gatherings, and covered parking.

American House sits on 26 acres next to the Imperial River in Old Bonita Springs. The senior living project includes a full restaurant service, resident activity rooms, aerobic swimming pool, lake walking path, fountains, gardens and exterior patios and verandas. Both independent and assisted living, as well as a fully memory care unit, are part of the healthcare real estate facility.

LandSouth completed 60 one-bedroom, 25 studio, and five two-bedroom units in the first phase, and 40 one-bedroom memory care residences in the second. The company is also working on apartments and mixed-use developments in  Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Sanford, Jacksonville, Davenport and Orlando, FL and Mount Pleasant, SC.
