ANF Group, Inc. recently celebrated the topping out of the Douglas Garden Residences, which is Broward County’s newest senior health and living community. The company provides construction management, general contracting, development and design-build services to the South Florida market. The project at 705 SW 88th Ave. will serve as the largest affordable living development for seniors in Florida by delivering a modern mixed-income community that seamlessly integrates health care and housing into one development for local seniors. The development will be constructed on the existing MJH’s 25-acre Douglas Gardens North Campus.
Miami Jewish Health (MJH), a nonprofit organization that provides health care and living options for aging adults, partnered with McDowell Housing Partners, a prominent real estate investment and development company, to develop the project.
“We are excited to commemorate the topping out of Douglas Garden Residences, offering seniors in the area a new, well-equipped and affordable living option,” Al Fernandez says, president of ANF Group. “We are grateful for the project team and look forward to delivering the largest affordable living development for seniors in Broward County.”
Douglas Gardens Residences is planning to offer 410 fully ADA-accessible units, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, to residents aged 62 or older. Out of these, 390 units will be reserved for age and income-qualifying residents, while the remaining 20 units will be available at market rates. In addition to the housing units, the project will also provide an array of high-quality amenities, such as a scenic pond surrounded by walking paths, several indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a spacious fitness center, a well-equipped business center with computer stations, inviting craft and game rooms, a pet grooming station, and a library.
The project team includes ANF Group, Miami Jewish Health, and McDowell, along with engineer and landscape designer Keith & Associates, REPRTWAR Architecture and Design, interior designer Jewel Toned Interiors, and law firm Nelson Mullins.
