The Snellville City Council voted recently to approve a 24.73-acre senior housing development at 1672 Athens Highway/Highway 78 at Crestview Drive.
The project by Ridgecliff LLC calls for a mixed-use senior citizen development including retail and restaurant space, medical buildings, 225 independent living units, 55 assisted living units, 24 memory care units and 85 single-family townhomes for those 55 and older.
“There are few, if any, senior housing options in the area that offer doctor’s offices, retail and restaurant space on a campus for seniors which offers varied levels of care and living choices” said Planning and Development Director Jason Thompson. “We have identified a need for senior housing and this will do just that.”
Dubbed The Villas at Crestview, the campus will include two parks, a community center and recreation space.
According to city officials, construction is expected to take place soon and is expected to be completed within two years.
