The project, scheduled for completion in 2028, will offer a continuum of care including Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. By combining REDICO’s investment experience with Ciel’s hospitality-focused management platform, the venture signals a shift toward institutional-backed expansion in high-demand coastal markets. According to Dale Watchowski, CEO of REDICO and American House Senior Living, the collaboration is part of a wider strategy to deploy capital across the Midwest and East Coast.

Ciel Senior Living, which currently manages over 3,000 units across 10 states, views the Rehoboth Beach site as a key milestone in its rapid national growth. Company co-founder Edward Burnett noted that the development seeks to mirror the local culture of the Delaware coast, prioritizing resident connection and wellness. The campus will feature resort-style amenities and personalized care services designed to allow residents to age in place while maintaining an active lifestyle.
