Phoenix Senior Living will build two new communities in Virginia

Phoenix Senior Living, a Georgia-based senior living operator, has announced a joint venture with Connexion Development Group in South Carolina that will add five new senior living communities, including two in Virginia.

The Retreat at Berryville, scheduled to open in the third quarter, will offer 51 units with 29 for assisted living and 22 for memory care. The Retreat at Fishersville will be the same size as Berryville, with construction expected to break ground this year.

The five new communities will add a total of 264 assisted living and memory care units throughout South Carolina’s Low Country and Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. The locations include The Retreat at Lady’s Island in Beaufort, S.C., which is scheduled to open this month.  The remaining sites are in Hartsville and Camden, S. C.

Headquartered in Roswell, Ga., privately held Phoenix Senior Living operates 15 communities in their Southeast footprint. 

“We are very excited to expand our footprint in South Carolina and Virginia,” Jesse Marinko, founder and CEO of Phoenix Senior Living, said in a statement. “Our continued and strategic growth allows Phoenix to invest into our organization’s human capital and creates jobs throughout the Southeast for individuals who are passionate and bring a servant’s heart to our organization.”
