Cypress Founding, Raleigh Partners, and Management
In the early 1990’s, two South Carolina developers, Jim Coleman, and Marc Puntereri, joined together to build a new equity business model in senior living, The Cypress of Hilton Head. That success paved the way for a second community, The Cypress of Charlotte (NC). In the early 2000’s three local Raleigh businessmen were introduced to the concept and found the equity model to offer numerous advantages over other types of life plan communities. Mark Andrews, Craig Huggins, and Michael Sandman (pictured clockwise from left) joined together to develop The Cypress of Raleigh.
Prior to the opening of The Cypress of Raleigh and to present day, Life Care Services (LCS) was selected to manage the community’s day to day operations. LCS, one of the nation’s premier managers of senior living communities, is committed to:
- Providing exceptional personal service,
- Promoting wellness and lifelong learning,
- Ensuring peace of mind for you and your family,
- Striving to exceed expectations, and
- Enhancing your quality of life.
With these commitments, the developers, along with Life Care Services, and the associates at The Cypress of Raleigh, strive to create a welcoming and gracious environment that honors The Cypress’ values of dedication, integrity, and compassion.
In the early 2000’s, these local Raleigh businessmen joined together to develop The Cypress of Raleigh. They remain actively involved today. (clockwise from left): Mark Andrews, Craig Huggins, and Michael Sandman.
The Cypress of Raleigh, based on the award-winning model found in Hilton Head and Charlotte, has established itself as a leading Life Plan Community/CCRC. Since opening in 2008, The Cypress has served its Members as a community of vitality and elegance.
