Opportunity: High net worth, high barrier to entry community. High density of affluent seniors with high percentage of home ownership.
Challenges: Infill location, little developable land. Challenging entitlements – community resistance to senior housing.
The success of the initial Bloomfield Township project led to a second project located at the heart of the Bloomfields and Birmingham community.
