Ground-breaking began this week on Vivante on the Coast, a new senior community complex in
Costa Mesa, California, the first one in the area in over 15 years. The project is being developed by local Nexus Cos. and designed by Hill Partnership. The planned 200,000-square-foot at 1640 Monrovia has an estimated cost of $62 million.
In an effort to keep up with the aging population of
California's Orange County, the luxury complex will offer 185 units, with studio, one and two-bedroom options. Amenities will include luxurious culinary and dining options, indoor saltwater pool, large private courtyards, bocce ball court and putting green. Along with a state-of-the-art fitness and physical therapy facility, the complex, only a half mile away from Hoag Hospital, will offer massage therapy, spa access, reflexology foot path and yoga deck. The Shores at Vivante on the Coast, a 40-unit memory care complex, will adjoin the main center on the 4.5-acre property.
The project was funded by local investment groups, which contributed $22 million. The remainder $40 million was financed by the Bank of the West.
