Challenge
SSM turned to Lawrence Group for help in facilitating a new senior housing project adjacent to their St. Mary’s campus. The redevelopment of this existing one-acre site includes a new park as well as a new 91,000-square-foot, 87-bed assisted living and memory care facility. The new facility required a development team, investors, design and construction expertise and planning. The extremely tight site posed particular challenges for design and constructability.
Solution
Lawrence Group tapped our network to assist in assembling a team of real estate and investment professionals to help SSM bring the project to life. Allegro joined the team as the facility operator and development lead and is excited to be able to open their first community in St. Louis.
Tight site constraints were navigated through extensive pre-construction planning and innovative design solutions with considerations taken for MSD stormwater detention and parking requirements. The resulting community contains many superior amenities and finishes for the senior housing market.
