Senior living complex hones in on luxury with $60 million project

The active adults of today (and tomorrow) definitely aren’t the same as the senior citizens of yesterday. That’s why south Fort Myers senior-living community Cypress Cove is building a new expansion to its campus designed for retirees who will make up the next phase of its customer base.

The Oaks at Cypress Cove will include 82 luxury villas and apartments on 12 acres within Cypress Cove’s 48-acre campus. The $60 million project is the result of a lengthy research and planning process looking at how best to use that available space. It also represents a new stage in the ongoing battle to lure the silver generation out of their homes and into amenity-rich facilities.
