(Charlottesville, VA) Anchor Health Properties continues its relationship with The Villages®, on a state-of-the-art 200,000 SF Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood located in The Villages, Florida. A formal groundbreaking ceremony was recently held to celebrate the project. The facility is to be built on a ground-leased parcel site that is approximately 31 acres in The Villages®’ Brownwood Paddock Square Town Center facing Route 44.
