Seniors housing complex planned for Pembroke Pines!
Miami Jewish Health Systems has teamed up with a nonprofit to create affordable apartments for seniors in Pembroke Pines. The organization, Miami Jewish health system's goal is provide top quality care while also making it possible that everyone can live their lives comfortably regardless of income level or family size! The approving commission of Pembroke Pines has given the green light to Douglas Gardens IV and VI, a 14.2-acre development site that will feature affordable housing for seniors with limited income!
"It sounds like this law will be a great fit for our community," Pembroke Pines Commissioner Thomas Good Jr said last Wednesday night at the commission meeting. The last two apartment buildings at the Douglas Gardens senior housing campus in Pembroke Pines are about to be completed. The four previous structures have collectively granted residence for more than 500 people, with an average rent per unit costing just under $1k/month!
The developers of Douglas Gardens want to make sure that they aren't just building senior housing for the wealthy. The new development will have a mix income-level apartments so everyone who lives there can enjoy themselves and not feel like their money bought them anything special!
Douglas Gardens IV and VI will have a combined total of 284 two-bedroom apartments, 121 one-bedrooms, and five studios. The signature amenity of the Douglas Gardens campus is the 15,000-square-foot PACE Medical Center operated by Miami Jewish Health, offering primary medical care, physical and occupational therapy, mental health treatment, hearing aids and eyeglasses, among other health products and services.
Residents will be able to enjoy all of the amenities this new development has on offer. From fitness stations, walking paths and gyms; there's something here for everyone! In addition you can take advantage your meal options in our café or order groceries online through their app which is available 24/7 so that everything comes right when it should (and didn't get mixed up with someone else’s dirty laundry). There are even literacy programs designed just for adults who want more than Netflix after work—they're called "Resident Services" The two-building, 410-unit expansion of Douglas Gardens would have 40 more units than local zoning allows because the developers got a density bonus under a new Broward County ordinance to incentivize development. “Pembroke Pines is going to be the first city in the county to use this ordinance,” James Kahn of Keith and Associates, a consultant to the developers, said at the city commission meeting.
