A new retirement community is on its way in Stouffville.

Mayor Iain Lovatt and members of councill met with Jack Eisenberger, Josh Kleiner and Philippe Krivicky from Bloom Retirement Community earlier this month to officially launch the construction of Bloom behind the new Longo’s plaza on Mostar.

“On behalf of the council we wish to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Bloom Stouffville on the occasion of your groundbreaking,” Lovatt said.

The retirement community is scheduled to open in the winter of 2022.

The six-storey development will have 248 units. There will be studios, one bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The community is being built to provide a fulfilling living environment with apartments for independent and semi-autonomous seniors. In the vicinity, and on the premises, residents will enjoy many amenities and recreational activities: restaurant for dining, cafe bistro for socializing, plus a spa, gym, pool and walking paths for physical activity. In addition, professional care will be provided to less autonomous residents.

“We are investing $100 million in this exciting new project, which benefits from an exceptional location close to many services in addition to building a next generation senior community with ‘’a la carte’’ services,” Philippe Krivicky, chief construction and development officer of Cogir Real Estate, said. “We are giving our best on this journey and working to make a big difference in the life of our seniors. We are proud to invest and serve Stouffville’s senior residents.”
