A $22 million workforce housing complex in Pevely, Mo. is now complete thanks to developer and contractor Gundaker Commercial Group and architecture firm Rosemann & Associates, P.C. The 256 unit project known as Pevely Pointe Apartments includes the new construction of eight buildings and sits on a 45 acre site visible from Interstate 55.With funding provided by Pevely Pointe, L.P. and the Missouri Housing Development Commission, Pevely Pointe Apartments help fill a demand for quality workforce housing in Jefferson County.
The complex consists of one, two and three-bedroom units along with a community clubhouse with business center, swimming pool and fitness area. The clubhouse also provides community children with a venue for multiple after-school programs.
"This is a unique service offered by the property that I haven't seen at other developments," explains Rosemann's Andrew Koenig, AIA. "This is a great example of how Gundaker works to set their developments apart from others."
Rosemann designed the project to maximize square footage by keeping each apartment simple and efficient explains Koenig. "Units are open and inviting," he says. "The real challenge was making a difficult site with a steep drop in elevation usable; a great amount of time and money was spent prepping the site for construction."
Another hardship occurred just one month before completion. During the final structure's construction, a fire took place completely destroying it. "The project team was devastated by the setback," says Koenig. "But we persevered and now Pevely has an attractive, affordable housing community that they can proudly call home."
