Construction set to start on CDS complex

Work is set to begin in April on a multimillion-dollar affordable senior living complex on Hard Road in Webster, with three additional buildings planned for the site.

The initial $7.5 million project for CDS Monarch Inc. includes 46 one-bedroom apartments and four two-bedroom units adjacent to the organization’s administrative offices at 860 Hard Road.

The Christa Cos. of Victor, Ontario County, will begin construction on the first building in late spring or early summer, CEO David Christa said. The 40,000-square-foot facility is scheduled for completion by spring 2015.

“We’ve tried to create a community here at CDS Monarch,” President and CEO Sankar Sewnauth said. “When you’re looking at services for people with developmental disabilities and the aging population, their retirement options are becoming more demanding. We need to provide them more options.”
