There are more than 75 million baby boomers in the U.S., and it is estimated that the country needs hundreds of thousands of additional senior housing options to meet their needs. While the demand may be strong, the process of building these facilities can be complex, especially when the goal is to expand the number of units on an existing campus. “Most residents are coming from large, single-family homes into these apartments,” said Joel Kelps, LEED AP BD C, senior project manager. “They are used to having a lot of control over the look and feel of their living spaces. We are seeing senior living organizations give incoming residents a lot of flexibility — this isn’t just picking out the wall colors and flooring selections. Residents have the ability to customize their apartments to their preferences.” Today’s senior living residents expect higher-end units with multiple bedrooms, large living spaces and nicer finishes, Kelps said. Leopardo worked with Covenant Living to bring these expectations in the expanded development [Carriage Homes]— collaborating with the client from the very beginning on construction budgeting — and the Leopardo team will see it through till the end and beyond.
