RE: CCRC at 1275 Turnpike Street
Mr. Simons:
The Shelter Group is a privately held for-profit owner, developer, and manager of senior
living communities. We have over twenty communities throughout the mid-Atlantic and
New England and currently manage four communities in the greater Boston area.
We are investigating the opportunity to develop the approved CCRC on Turnpike
Street. As part of our investigation we are reviewing the currently approved site plan and
building configuration and have identified a handful or areas that we believe could be
enhanced or improved for the benefit of future residents. As a result we have proposed
some minor changes and want to review them with the planning board in an effort to
confirm that the changes we are proposing are administrative in nature. The proposed
changes have been described in the enclosed attachments which we will describe in
greater detail at the meeting.
Pending our due diligence, our objective would be to close on the acquisition of the site
by the end of 2011 and commence construction immediately thereafter. Therefore it is
imperative that our proposed changes do not constitute a lengthy approval process and we
are seeking your guidance in determining the scope and timing for approval of the
proposed changes. We look forward to introducing our organization to you and having a
productive discussion on July Stn
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration on this matter, We look forward
to meeting you.
Sincerely, �.
David S. Holland
Vice President of Development
