The development represents the second project by the sponsor in New Jersey, who has additional projects in planning within the region.

Thrive at Roxbury is scheduled to be completed in December 2028 and will comprise a three-story building offering 100 independent living, 43 assisted living and 32 private memory care units.

Thrive at Roxbury will serve unmet demand in Morris County with a luxury full continuum of care. Located at 201 NJ-10, the property is surrounded by many affluent pockets of Northern New Jersey, including Chester, Mendham, Denville and Morris. Thrive at Roxbury is proximate to numerous retail developments and has regional access to the greater Tri-State area via Interstate 80 and Route 206.
