In May 2009, Rosemann completes Stratford Manor - a $5.2 million, new construction project built for seniors requiring affordable housing. The independent living community located in Pine Lawn, Mo. is the third and final phase of the C.S. Bond Apartments' redevelopment now named Stratford Commons.
Gundaker Commercial Group and the Housing Authority of St. Louis County led the development team with funding assistance provided by the Missouri Housing Development Commission. The previous two phases provide a total of 114 townhomes for low-income families while Stratford Manor includes 52 one and two bedroom garden-style apartments.
A ribbon cutting is scheduled for June 11, 2009 when the project team will successfully integrate seniors into the existing family campus. "We wanted to provide residents with a safer, more secure housing option while keeping them connected with the Pine Lawn community," says senior living design expert Nancy Rodney, AIA, LEED ® AP.
Rosemann based its design on the idea of "Aging in Place" or the ability to continue living independently while being in a familiar environment where seniors can participate in family and community events. Stratford Manor's closeness to Interstate 70 and availability to community amenities supports this autonomous lifestyle often increasing the residents' quality of life and wellness.
"More and more seniors are living in homes which require maintenance they are no longer able to provide," explains Rosemann's Vice President Jarrett R. Cooper, AIA, LEED ® AP. "With the production of housing options such as Stratford, we reduce this burden while increasing home availability to families who can then move in and help re-energize the community."
Building features include large bay windows and upgraded cabinetry, countertops and flooring in units with a public living room, library, fitness center and outdoor terrace for all residents to share. Rosemann provided both architectural and interior design services in order to complete the project.
