CELEBRATION, FLA. — Big Rock Partners has selected Balfour Beatty Construction as the construction manager for a resort-style, $60 million senior living rental community under development in Celebration. The new community will be Celebration’s first to offer independent living, assisted living and memory care services under one roof, with a total of 225 rental residences. Construction is projected to begin in late 2015 for an expected opening in mid-2017. The property will feature tree-lined fountains, gardens, an indoor pool, movie screening room, fitness center and a top-floor solarium for viewing nearby Disney World’s fireworks displays. Balfour Beatty is working closely from the conceptual phase with the project’s architect, Gensler. Life Care Services will operate and market the community upon completion. Sabra Health Care REIT provided Big Rock Partners with a $4.5 million acquisition loan for the land and anticipates providing additional financing for construction, according to Big Rock. Walker & Dunlop is Big Rock’s financial advisor for the project.
