Master Planning

The Development Team at Certus partners with stakeholders to design, develop, and deliver tailored senior living solutions for each community.

As the senior care industry evolves and market demographics shift, we proactively assess opportunities to position communities for long-term success. This may involve expanding existing footprints, repurposing spaces, altering unit mixes, or pursuing greenfield construction. Drawing on extensive experience managing senior care communities and the full continuum of care at retirement communities nationwide, Certus brings thoughtful, strategic ideas to every project. Our team addresses zoning constraints, carefully evaluates timing, and integrates operational considerations to enhance residents’ quality of life while maintaining financial discipline. Through detailed financial forecasting, market demand assessments, and the evaluation of potential partners’ and investors’ financial health, we ensure projects meet operational goals and achieve sustainable success.

New Development

The Construction Management Team at Certus specializes in managing projects from the ground up, guiding every step of the construction process—from pre-construction planning through project completion and handover to the property management team or owner.

With proven expertise in construction, real estate, and architecture, Certus collaborates with general contractors, architects, construction firms, municipal authorities, financial institutions, and internal teams to deliver exceptional results. Our work on The Care Center at The Heritage of Green Hills, a recipient of the prestigious Excellence in Construction Award, exemplifies our commitment to quality and innovation. We prioritize transparent communication with local authorities to ensure compliance with regulations and proactively secure permits and approvals to avoid delays. By focusing on delivering projects on time and within budget, we ensure financial viability while creating a seamless transition to property management, setting communities up for long-term success.

Redevelopments

Maintaining the long-term viability of senior communities requires an ongoing cycle of updates and redevelopment to keep the property fresh, relevant, and competitive—and our team excels in this area.

We have a team dedicated to unit turnover, working efficiently to update units for resale, ensuring minimal downtime. Additionally, we focus on larger property updates to maintain a modern, appealing appearance while addressing the safety and livability of older buildings. All improvements are approached with a fiscally responsible mindset, balancing the needs of the community with market demands and financial sustainability.
