HOLLAND, OHIO — Evergreen Real Estate Group has broken ground on Green Oaks of Holland, a four-story, 120-unit affordable assisted living community in Holland near Toledo. Site work is underway, with completion and opening anticipated in March 2027. Located at 6650 N. Mall Drive, Green Oaks of Holland will feature 67 studio and 53 one-bedroom apartments. Assisted living provider Gardant Management Solutions will manage the property, which will be licensed as a residential care facility by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) and approved as a Medicaid-assisted living service provider through the Ohio Department of Aging (ODA).
The project is one of the first purpose-built affordable assisted living developments to break ground in Ohio, according to Evergreen, and is being completed in partnership with Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA), Ohio Department of Medicaid, ODA and ODH.
Each unit will offer a kitchenette with a sink, refrigerator and microwave, with the flexibility to be upgraded to a full kitchen if needed. Units will also include a full private bathroom with a shower and grab bars, living and/or bedroom space, individual heating and air conditioning and an emergency alert system.
Amenities will include a large dining room with a commercial kitchen providing three daily meals and snacks, as well as a fitness room, beauty salon, game room, activity rooms, resident computer stations, a library, art spaces and multiple community rooms and lounges. Certified staff will be onsite 24 hours a day, and the facility will offer transportation to local stores and services for residents.
The development plan includes 70 onsite parking spaces, six of which will be accessible. The property will feature a covered main entry drop-off, outdoor porches, walking paths, a private rear patio, gazebo recreation area and new landscaping.
The OHFA approved Green Oaks of Holland for 4 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and issued tax-exempt private activity bonds to support the development. The bonds were underwritten and placed by D.A. Davidson. WJW Architects was the project architect, and The Douglas Co. is serving as general contractor.
