A Baltimore-based company that develops and operates senior living communities is planning its second Bethesda facility and fourth in Montgomery County.
Andrew Teeters, vice president of development for Brightview Senior Living, said the company expects to file with Montgomery County early next year for a conditional use approval to build an assisted living facility of approximately 100 units on a three-acre site near the historic Grosvenor Mansion. The site is currently zoned for residential use.
The property, at the corner of Grosvenor Lane and Fleming Avenue, is next to Grosvenor Heights, the community of 142 town homes and 10 single-family homes from developer EYA that is under construction.
Teeters said the company has been meeting with neighborhood groups near the site to discuss the project and Brightview’s conceptual site plan. The three-level facility would be called Brightview at Grosvenor and include space dedicated to residents with memory problems.
Teeters said it will likely take at least a year to get approval to use the site as an assisted living facility from the county’s hearing examiner and Planning Board.
Brightview is in the middle of the county’s approval process for an eight-story assisted living facility on Rugby Avenue in downtown Bethesda.
In addition, Brightview will soon begin construction of the 195-unit Brightview Rockville Town Center facility. The building is part of the broader redevelopment planned for the parking lots just north of Rockville Town Center.
The company opened the Brightview Fallsgrove assisted living and dementia care facility in 2013 in Rockville.
