Ground Broken On Upscale Assisted-Living in Grayson

GRAYSON, GA -- Business and political leaders on Thursday broke ground on Dogwood Forest, a 99-unit, luxury assisted-living community in Grayson.

The $26 million facility, by Trinity Lifestyles Management, will have balconies, courtyards and restaurant-style dining areas with waiters and menus.

“It’s going to be the big mansion,” Trinity CEO Al Holbrook said at the ceremony, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Dogwood Forest is the first of two assisted living communities that Trinity plans to build in Gwinnett County over the next few years, the Post reports. Chief Operating Officer Vickie Curl said the company will break ground on a similar community in Sugar Hill near the end of 2016.

The Grayson community is expected to open around the middle of next year. It will sit across from Starling Elementary School on Lawenceville Highway.

Trinity’s other locations are in Gainesville, Cumming, Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Acworth, Fayetteville and Stockbridge.
