Sundt Construction to Build New Senior Living Facility

Sundt Construction, Inc., a member of multiple AGC chapters, broke ground on the new Otay Ranch Senior Living Facility on June 27. The general contractor was awarded a $20-million Construction Manager at Risk contract to build the new facility.

The community will be state-of-the-art, with 111 units for assisted living and memory care. The 105,000-sq-foot project is located in Village Five of the Otay Ranch Community. The building’s amenities include a dining room and bistro, movie theater, fitness room, arts and crafts center, barber/beauty salon, activity space and courtyards.

"Sundt is excited to help build this new senior living community for San Diego County," John Messick, Sundt vice president and San Diego regional director said. "With our portfolio of modern senior living facilities, we are confident seniors in our community will be proud to call Otay Ranch home."

The property is owned by an entity including Douglas Wilson Companies, Milestone Retirement Communities and others. Milestone Retirement Communities is the community operator.
