Pro Con Inc. managing $11.5 million design build of Brightview at Billerica

Construction is underway for Brightview at Billerica, a new senior living community located at 199 Concord Rd. Brightview at Billerica will offer personalized residential care services for seniors and a selection of lifestyles including assisted living and dementia care. The $11.5 million design build project is being developed by Shelter Development of Baltimore, Maryland, and will be operated by Brightview Senior Living. Pro Con Inc. is the architect and construction manager for the property, which will be the second Brightview-constructed community in Mass. Brightview at Billerica will have 58 apartments for assisted living and 26 apartments for Alzheimer's and dementia care. The apartments, which are all under one roof, will range in size from 300 to 950 s/f and offer the residents a variety of floor plans and service options. The two and a half-story, 67,400 s/f apartment community will offer a vibrant social environment where housekeeping, dining, transportation, and maintenance are provided. Plans call for the community to have two dining rooms, two living rooms, a large multi-purpose/activity room, a café/bar, a beauty/barber salon, and several other amenity spaces which will provide for a vibrant lifestyle. This is the second project PCI has managed for The Shelter Group and The Shelter Group's first design build project. PCI was the construction manager for Brightview at Danvers, a $20 million senior living community which was completed in July 2008. Pro Con Inc began site work on Brightview Billerica in November 2008 and has scheduled a November 2009 completion date for the design build project. Brightview Senior Living currently operates 16 communities in 8 states.

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark.
