Erickson Living, a Catonsville-based operator of retirement communities, is changing its name to Erickson Senior Living and planning $3 billion in new development across the United States. Erickson, which runs 20 communities in 11 states, including Charlestown in Catonsville and Oak Crest in Parkville, plans to build 5,000 new apartment units in new and existing communities. The company said it is adding “Senior” to its name to reflect its identity serving a population that’s projected to double to 98 million people by 2060.
