The Suwanee City Council voted recently to approve a rezoning request to allow for the construction of an assisted living facility at the southeast corner of Buford Highway and McGinnis Ferry Road. The Oaks at Suwanee assisted living facility on 6.6 acres will include 60 assisted living rooms and 26 memory care beds. Amenities will include social and recreational activities, meal, housekeeping and laundry services, 24-hour emergency response, shuttle transportation service, physiotherapy, virtual doctor services, hair salon, and a movie theatre for residents.
The front of the 66,795-square foot building will face Buford Highway with vehicular entrance points from McGinnis Ferry Road and Burnette Road. Conditions of approval restrict the facility to a maximum of 86 units to be built using residential craftsmen style architecture. All facades facing Buford Highway or McGinnis Ferry Road must be at least 50 percent stone or brick. All parking will be screened from public streets with landscaping.
