TUCSON, Ariz. — The Weitz Company, a design and construction firm based in Phoenix, has broken ground on Hacienda at the River, a $21 million seniors housing community in Tucson.
A joint venture of The Freshwater Group and Watermark Retirement Communities is developing the community, which Watermark will manage upon completion.
The new community will feature a 74,000-square-foot, two-story health care center offering short-term, long-term and hospice care. Hacienda at the River will include a 50-bed rehab unit, 12 long-term nursing care beds and 12 hospice beds.
Also included are 69 assisted living and memory care units spread over a 43,000-square-foot village of single-story homes. The property will also house a 1,600-square-foot stable to offer equine therapy to residents.
