CASE STUDY

Management of the Development of a Senior Living Project

The Fox Group helped two developers inexperienced with senior living projects by restructuring their design team and operator selection. We guided the project through design, entitlement approvals, and prepared them for the financing phase of a 144-bed senior living facility.

Architectural blueprints with pencils, a compass, and an orange level placed on top lay the foundation for a Senior Living project. Rolled-up plans hint at thoughtful development management in the background.

Struggling with Project Design

The developers faced challenges with the design and operational aspects of their senior living project.

Restructured Design Team

We replaced the design team and operator, reworked the project plan, and secured entitlement approvals.

Project Ready for Financing

With approvals secured, the project moved on to the financing phase and sights were set on construction.

The Circumstances and Challenges

Two developers, both inexperienced with senior living projects, had a six-acre piece of land that they intended on developing into an assisted living facility, a memory care facility along with a retail component on the frontage of the property.  They were struggling with the design team and operator they secured for the project.

The Change and Process

The two developers contacted The Fox Group, LLC to assist them in executing the project.  After working for some time with both the design team and the operator, The Fox Group determined that a series of changes were necessary in order to move the project forward.

A new design team was identified and brought in by The Fox Group.  In addition, the operator was separated from the project.  The Fox Group worked with the design team to re-design the project and bring it to the local agency for entitlement.  A new operating partner was also added to the project.

Follow up and Outcome

The architectural plans for a 144 bed assisted living and memory care facility were finalized.  Final entitlements, based on the local regulatory agency, were secured.  With the approval process concluded, the developer moved on to working on the process of securing the proper financing for the project and preparing for it to be built.
