Located on a 1.4-acre site, the 11-story, 255,600-sq-ft building contains 192 units dedicated to senior living. It also has a three-story parking garage, an indoor pool, theater, chapel, fitness center and salon. Pre-installation meetings with subcontractors ensured compliance with all design details, a critical step given the predominance of high-end finishes and the need to prevent costly, time-consuming rework. 

The small site presented many logistical and operations challenges. Unstable soils and a susceptibility to sinkholes required six weeks of preconstruction site mitigation with compaction grouting. Instead of a tower crane, the team used a 300-ton mobile crane and hydraulic mobile scaffold. Operations were meticulously sequenced to support just-in-time material deliveries. An agreement with an adjacent property owner provided a much-needed half-acre lot for laydown space and construction trailers.
