Big Rock Starts Construction of $82M CCRC in Metro Orlando

CELEBRATION, FLA. — Big Rock Partners has started construction of a luxury continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in the Orlando suburb of Celebration. The project, which doesn’t yet have a name, has increased in size since it was announced last year. The $60 million development costs have increased to $82 million, and the 225 planned units have increased to 239. The six-story community will sit on a nine-acre site, and is the only planned seniors housing development in Celebration, according to Big Rock. Balfour Beatty is the construction manager on the project, which is scheduled for completion in spring 2018. Gensler designed the community. Once complete, Life Care Services will operate. Big Rock Partners is a private real estate investment management firm with three seniors housing projects in Florida under development worth approximately $200 million.
