The city approved construction for Grand Living at Tamaya, a 171-unit independent, assisted-living and memory care development at 3270 Tamaya Blvd.
Ryan Companies USA Inc. is developing the project at northeast Kernan and Beach boulevards.
Eric Anderson, Ryan Companies vice president of development for senior living, said previously construction would be completed in spring 2019.
Ryan Companies is the contractor for the project. The building’s construction cost is $35.7 million. Site clearing and foundation work, approved in November, totaled $2.45 million.
Ryan Companies US Inc. bought 6.08 acres for almost $3.3 million in October from Tamaya Loan Acquisition Group LLC, whose managing member is associated with ICI Homes.
Tamaya is an ICI Homes community.
Ryan Companies is a builder, designer and developer. It owns a one-third interest in Grand Living Management, which is its strategic operating partner. Both are based in Minneapolis.
Ryan Companies will build and develop the project and Grand Living will operate it. Anderson said Ryan will partner with an equity group to be part of the ownership.
Grand Living at Tamaya is designed as an age-in-place community for its 137 units for independent and assisted-living residents. It offers a 34-unit secure environment designed for those living with dementia.
Amenities include five dining venues with multiple menu offerings; a “Grand Spa” featuring personal fitness and a fitness trainer, group fitness, massage and an outdoor pool; a performance theater; a library and club room; and pet grooming.
Four elevators will serve the four-story, almost 200,000-square-foot building.
Units comprise studio, one- and two-bedrooms, with dens available for the one- and two-bedroom apartments.
