...garden, sun deck and an infirmary offering 24-hr, medical service. What sets Rockledge apart from other hotel projects is that it is designed to house only retired people-at a profit. Prices will start at $8,000 to buy a living room-bedroom apartment, plus a $112.50-per-person monthly charge for meals and maintenance.
