Marriott Senior Living Services Partners with Toll Brothers to Develop Assisted Living Communities

Marriott MapleRidge of Reston, to be developed at the intersection of Route 7 and Baron Cameron Parkway, will be owned by Reston Assisted Living, LLC and operated by Marriott Senior Living Services under a long-term agreement. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2000.

John Elcano, Vice President for Toll Brothers, Inc. said, "The strategic partnership between Toll Brothers, Inc. and Marriott Senior Living Services combines Toll Brothers' development expertise and Marriott's operational strengths in the assisted living field to form a truly synergistic relationship."
