More housing is coming to Leland’s Brunswick Forest master-planned community.

Liberty Senior Living, a division of Wilmington-based Liberty Healthcare, plans to build rental apartments and townhomes for active seniors on land the company purchased at Brunswick Forest going back to 2016. The development will be called Inspire Brunswick Forest.

The estimated $43 million project includes 151 apartments, 16 detached townhome units and a Phase 2 option of 48 additional apartments, said Mathew Bork, vice president of finance for Liberty Senior Living, in an email.

The property is southwest of the currently developed commercial area at Brunswick Forest, located between the Brunswick Forest Veterinary Hospital and fronting U.S. 17. 

“With additional land parcels adjacent to the active adult property, Liberty plans to develop additional communities creating a senior living campus offering assisted living, memory care, and other senior-focused services,” Bork said.

Officials expect to break ground on Inspire Brunswick Forest this year, he said.

As to why Liberty chose Brunswick Forest for the development, Bork said, “the demographics and growth of both Brunswick County in general and within Brunswick Forest. The amenities within Brunswick Forest are very complementary to our future residents, i.e. grocery store, restaurants, medical providers, pharmacy, etc.”

The company recently announced that Liberty Senior Living next month will open a new mixed-use development for active seniors who are at least 55 years old at Pine Island Point in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Called Inspire Coastal Grand, the development will feature 194 residences plus retail shops, stores and businesses that cater to active seniors, according to a news release.

A grand opening is scheduled for April 29. Apartments are being pre-leased now and guests may take hard-hat tours to reserve their home, the release stated. Move-ins are scheduled to begin April 15.

Bork said Inspire Coastal Grand is similar to the plan for Inspire Brunswick Forest in its focus on wellness, activities, and socialization for the senior population as well as the finish levels and amenities offered, with the biggest difference being the townhomes Liberty plans to offer at Brunswick Forest.

Liberty Senior Living is also building Inspire Royal Park, located outside of Charlotte in Matthews. “This community is scheduled to open later this year,” Bork said.

He said in addition to the on-site amenities and services at the Inspire communities, Liberty is able to provide homecare and hospice services through its affiliate, Liberty Homecare & Hospice, with offices in all three markets.
