April 2026 High-Profile Focus: Multi-Residential 25 preconstruction to refine budgets, evaluate design efficiencies, and manage costs— are helping bring these communities to life.
KBE Building Corporation, a national construction management firm with deep experience in senior living development, is currently working with several developers advancing new communities throughout the region.
PRESERVING HISTORY WHILE EXPANDING CARE One example is the recently launched Sunrise Senior Living community in Tarrytown, New York, which officially broke ground in December 2025.
KBE is serving as Construction Manager at Risk for the 103,985-square-foot community, which will include 85 residences across assisted living and memory care. The three-story building will feature a Modern Georgian architectural style, with exterior materials including shingles, clapboard, brick, and stone.
A defining feature of the project is the preservation and renovation of the historic Goebel House, a 24,046-square-foot structure located on the property. Rather than demolishing the historic building, the project team is carefully renovating the structure and incorporating it into the new community. Planned improvements include interior upgrades and the addition of a new porte-cochère that will connect the existing building with the newly constructed residences.
“ Senior living communities play a vital role in supporting dignity, care, and quality of life for an aging population,” said Jim Culkin, Executive Vice President of KBE Building Corporation.“ We’ re proud to continue our longstanding relationship with Sunrise Senior Living on this project, building on a history of successful collaborations rooted in trust, shared values, and a commitment to excellence.”
Construction is now underway, with completion anticipated in 2027.
A NEW GENERATION OF LIFE PLAN COMMUNITIES Another example of renewed development activity can be found in Stamford, Connecticut, where Mozaic Senior Life recently celebrated the groundbreaking of Mozaic Concierge Living, a new Life Plan Community.
KBE is serving as Construction Manager at Risk for the 483,888-square-foot campus, which will rise on a 15-acre site and include structured parking, extensive amenities, and a full continuum of care.
The development will feature 168 independent living residences totaling 294 beds, along with 42 units in a dedicated health center. Designed to support long-term aging in place, the community will provide a full range of services and wellness-focused amenities.
Residents will have access to multiple dining venues, wellness and fitness facilities, and a swimming pool designed to support active and healthy lifestyles. As the first new Life Plan Community developed in Fairfield County in more than 30 years, the project represents a significant investment in the region’ s aging population and demonstrates the growing momentum within the senior housing sector.
LOOKING AHEAD Although challenges remain, including elevated development costs and cautious lending, industry leaders are optimistic that the senior housing pipeline will continue to strengthen in the coming years.
For developers, operators, and construction teams alike, the focus moving forward will remain on innovation, efficiency, and collaboration— finding new ways to deliver communities that support the needs of older adults while remaining economically viable.
After several years of hesitation, the industry appears ready to move forward again. And as new projects break ground, they are helping ensure that the next generation of senior living communities will be ready to meet the needs of a rapidly growing aging population.
