New senior community planned for Mount Pleasant, SC

Groundbreaking for a 248-unit senior residential community called Somerby took place last month in the heart of Mount Pleasant’s Park West community.

Somerby will be located on 20 acres along Basildon Road, just north of the intersection of Park West Boulevard and Grey Marsh Road.

The campus-style, continuing care community will offer independent living options in either villas or apartments, and three levels of health care: assisted living, memory care and respite care.

The community will include 131 independent living residences, 51 assisted living residences, 38 Alzheimer’s care residences and 28 villas.

Somerby will offer full-service dining, weekly housekeeping and linen service, planned activities, exercise and wellness programs, recreation, scheduled transportation, companion services and therapy.

Amenities at Somerby will include a library and computer center, billiards and game room, movie theater, exercise facility, walking paths with exercise stations, an indoor heated pool, beauty salon, barbershop and a convenience store.

The community is scheduled for completion in 2008 and from the looks of it, they are right on schedule. I live nearby, and pass the site everyday, and can tell you they are making great headway.

Somerby is a development of Dominion Partners LLC, a real estate company with offices in Richmond, Va., Raleigh, N.C., and Birmingham, Ala. The company has handled more than $2 billion in residential and commercial transactions in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
