Damascus senior housing project receives $2.5M loan from state of Maryland

A senior housing project at St. Anne's Episcopal Church at 25100 Ridge Road in Damascus has been awarded a $2.5 million loan from the Maryland Rental Housing Works Program. The funds will go toward the construction of 76 1-and-2-bedroom apartments for seniors on the church property. Maryland's Board of Public Works approved the loan at its October 20, 2021 meeting.

Gaithersburg senior housing project proposed

Developers SHA Capital Partners and Kisco Senior Living have proposed a new senior housing project at the corner of Sam Eig Highway and Washingtonian Boulevard in Gaithersburg. Under a project amendment, the building would be 80' tall with 310 units. Most will be for independent living, while others will be set aside for assisted living, memory units, and affordable units.

Outdoor amenities will include a "wellness courtyard," walking trails, bocce ball, a Tai-Chi lawn, a pavilion, a fire pit, outdoor dining with a bar, and garden areas. The inside will host a game room, two dining facilities and another bar, a fitness center, an aerobics room and an indoor pool. 218 parking spaces will be mostly in structured parking decks, with some surface parking.

The land where the development is proposed to be built was originally planned for 320000 SF of office space, which makes sense given its proximity to I-270. A public hearing on the project will be held at tonight's Mayor and Council meeting at City Hall, May 6, 2019 at 7:30 PM.
