Senior living development in College Station expected to create 75 jobs
The BCS Chamber of Commerce hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for a new assisted living and memory care community in College Station on May 13.
The gist
This project, developed by Blake Management Group, will bring a two-story, resort-style senior living community known as The Blake to the Lake View Acres neighborhood.
CEO Scott Hames said the community will blend hospitality and luxury to create a senior retirement environment focused on engagement and quality care and dining.
"It's a place where [residents will] be able to thrive," he said.
Hames said The Blake College Station project marks the company's fourth development in Texas. According to its website, The Blake operates eight other communities nationwide. Texas locations include Waco, Tyler and New Braunfels.
The facility is expected to create about 75 jobs in College Station, including full-time, part-time and PRN positions.
The details
The development will include 117 units, which include 73 licensed assisted living units and 44 memory care units.
The $23 million project, as laid out by state filings, will be located between U-Haul Moving & Storage and City Heights apartments on Harvey Mitchell Parkway South.
Construction is expected to be completed in early 2028.
Before you go
This community will offer assisted living and specialized memory care services for residents living with Alzheimer's disease and related conditions.
