A foreign real estate firm plans to build a hotel, assisted living facility, and medical offices near the Cleveland Walmart Supercenter. Grace of Georgia Developments, LLC, proposed the project to address growing community needs.
The plan includes three buildings: a 60-bed assisted living facility, six medical offices, and a 40-bed hotel. Access to the site will be from Donald E Thurmond Parkway, with a second road connecting to Underwood Farm Road.
Devynn Glanz, a senior planner with DLBP LLC, says they informed nearby residents about the project. Their research shows high demand for these services and a good investment opportunity.
Cleveland City Administrator Kevin Harris supports the idea.
“The medical offices would be very much needed. A four-story hotel is much needed in Cleveland. The assisted living is something that a lot of folks need, so basically, we’re excited to have them look in in our community,” he said.
Cleveland Economic Development Director Tom O’Bryan said the property will need to be annexed. The city will work through that process with the county, property owner, and developer.
Grace of Georgia Developments focuses on projects that suit growing communities. They specialize in senior living and have developed several such communities.
The DLBP website lists other current Grace projects, including a proposed 132-home development on Sardis Road northwest of Gainesville and a senior living community in Gwinnett County.
