encompassing studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. It boasts the only rooftop pool at a senior living community in Coral Gables.
Project partners MorningStar Senior Liv- ing, Confluent Senior Living, and Concord Development Partners have completed a 166,000-square-foot senior living communi- ty in Mission Viejo, Calif. The community, MorningStar of Mission Viejo, offering 132 licensed senior living units is now accept- ing new resident applicants. As this region within Orange County has been historically underserved for senior housing care, the new MorningStar community will meet the needs of those seeking independent living, assisted living, and memory support. MorningStar of Mission Viejo broke ground in March 2021. The project was successfully complet- ed ahead of schedule amid an environment of uncertainty in delivery across the senior housing market. The community will offer studio, one- and two-bedroom suites as well as 126 below-grade parking spaces. To fur- ther promote the Whole Health Standard and encourage time enjoyed outdoors, the property features 13,809 square feet of out- door space including a pool, dog run, resi- dent garden, and al fresco dining. Morning- Star also offers a fitness and wellness center. As personal health dictates, assisted living residents will be offered personalized support with the activities of daily living through 24- hour staffing and full-time licensed nurses.
