A 36-apartment expansion, Blueberry Commons is the first stage of the OceanView Falmouth School Redevelopment Project and will serve as the gateway to this newly acquired 20-acre school property. Access to this property from the existing OceanView campus is via a new road to be called Marion Way, after John Wasileski’s late mother. A rudimentary outline of this future road will serve as the carefully planned construction access for Landry/French to the Blueberry Commons building site to minimize the disruption to the residents of OceanView and the existing 60-acre campus.

Blueberry Commons will consist of three environmentally efficient, inter-connected buildings, attached via temperature-controlled connectors to the existing Lodge buildings. Solar energy will be used for hot water. The atrium style connectors will allow Blueberry Commons residents access in any weather to programs in a variety of settings throughout the existing Lodge buildings including:  Screening Room, Fitness Studio, Game Room, Library  etc., along with meal options in the Main Dining Room and Gazebo Grille Café.

The Blueberry Commons apartments will all offer spacious corner locations and floor plans ranging from 1,072 and 1,807 square feet with gas fireplaces, balconies, customized decor and underground parking. Also part of the addition will be a large, new 150-person capacity “Commons Room” for lectures, concerts, and social gatherings, as well as a third floor community “Skywalk” for all residents to enjoy the spectacular views of Casco Bay to the south and east.

Continuing its place as a proud leader in the retirement industry in Maine, OceanView at Falmouth is pleased to announce its successful growth, expanding with 70% of the total Blueberry Commons apartments under reservation prior to construction.
