Retirement Communities

It has been over 20 years since the principals of Rockport first identified the seniors housing market as one to be strategically pursued by the company.  In contrast to the market demands which directed Rockport’s more  traditional first time home buyer offerings, the seniors housing market represented a growing demographic that responded to a special  array of economic and social imperatives that called on special skills not then widely demonstrated in the marketplace.  Rockport set out to become a leader in seniors housing.  Once again, it has succeeded in delivering the best in Seniors condo’s, retirement residence and assisted living environments.

The award winning 250 unit/suite On Bogart Pond community in Newmarket, including the “Cape Cod style” town homes and the Reflections Condominiums (an outstanding 5 storey building providing the very best in single level living), represents Rockport’s dedication to quality of design and construction in meeting the needs of the discriminating senior.

Rockport is very proud of The Parkway Retirement Residence in Pickering, an assisted living residence; the Trilogy Long Term Care Centre, a provincially licensed nursing home, and the adjacent McCowan Arms Retirement Residence (for independent living), in east Toronto.

In 2007, Rockport, in association with its partner, Spectrum Seniors Housing, the development affiliate of Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT, completed the construction of Scarlett Heights, a 206 all suite retirement residence in Central Etobicoke, and Pickering City Centre, a 117 all suite residence next to City Hall, the city’s main Recreation Centre, and the Pickering Town Centre, a full service Regional Shopping centre, in the City of Pickering.  These two residences are on the cutting edge of providing a “hotel” or “condo” like experience for active, independent seniors who want to enjoy outstanding personal space in the context of a residence which provides an array of social activities and excellent food and personal services.

In the fall of 2007, Rockport and Spectrum, commenced construction of their next Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT residence, a 139 suite building in the fast growing Vaughan community in the Major Mackenzie and Dufferin.
