What Centric Does

Vertically integrated developer

Built to reduce the gap between underwriting and execution.

Deals fail between the spreadsheet and the field. Centric works both sides of that gap.

Stage 01

Site-Specific Risk

Zoning, utilities, access, and demand issues surfaced before they reach the model.

Stage 02

Development Risk

Financing, entitlement, design, and construction decisions made by one team, so assumptions hold.

Stage 03

Construction Risk

Priced with field experience, not third-party estimates. Schedule and budget protected through delivery.

Stage 04

Operating Reality

An owner-operator's view of how the building will actually work for residents and staff, planned from day one.

Project Types

Primary Project Focus.

Independent living

Rental communities in markets with the depth and income to support them.

Assisted living

Licensed communities sized to demand, staffing reality, and operating economics.

Memory care

Dedicated memory care with research-backed layouts that work for care delivery.

Senior housing campuses

Multi-acuity campuses combining independent living, assisted living, and memory care.

55+ residential

Age-restrictive rentals designed for the active adult community.

Adaptive reuse opportunities

Existing buildings where high market demand supports senior use repositioning.

Operator-led development

We know that operators are the foundation of a successful community and we work hand in hand with them to build to their needs.

Partnership Model

What we do for our partners.

  1. 01

    Initial Review

    We quickly determine whether the site, market, capital objective, operator need, or project thesis deserves deeper attention.

  2. 02

    Feasibility & Risk Screen

    We identify the issues that can waste time, threaten capital, or break execution: zoning, utilities, access, construction cost, site constraints, and senior housing demand.

  3. 03

    Development Plan

    We turn viable opportunities into a clear development plan: scope, budget, schedule, entitlement path, construction strategy, and capital needs.

  4. 04

    Execution

    We carry the plan into the field with development management, construction oversight, reporting, and delivery discipline.

The goal is not to make every deal work. The goal is to identify the right deals early and execute them with discipline.

FAQ

Questions capital partners ask.

What does Centric Development do?

Centric Development is a senior housing development and construction company based in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm develops and builds independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities across the Southeast, and operates the communities it builds, so development decisions are informed by construction pricing and daily operating reality.

What types of senior housing projects does Centric evaluate?

Centric evaluates independent living, assisted living, memory care, senior housing campuses, 55+ residential, adaptive reuse opportunities, operator-led development, and land sites suitable for senior housing across Georgia and the Southeast.

Does Centric work with institutional capital partners?

Yes. Centric is structured to work with capital partners, lenders, landowners, brokers, operators, and project sponsors evaluating senior housing opportunities, from a single site review to a programmatic development relationship.

Where does Centric Development operate?

Centric is based in Atlanta and focused on Georgia and Southeast growth markets, with built work in Georgia and Virginia and general contracting licenses across six states.

Why is construction experience important in senior housing development?

Construction experience surfaces site constraints, pricing risk, schedule issues, constructability problems, and budget exposure earlier in the process, while a deal can still be restructured. As its own general contractor, Centric prices construction with field experience rather than third-party estimates.
