Scope Of Work
Erland managed the construction of the first neighborhood of this independent living community, comprised of a 57,818 square foot community building, three residential buildings totaling 433 units, and surface and below-grade parking for more than 200 cars. The community building− with a dining room, full-service kitchen, pool and fitness center, healthcare services, shops, banking, and crafts and recreation rooms− is connected to all the other buildings via climatecontrolled, enclosed walkways. Sitework encompassed reclaiming an abandoned quarry and protecting the wetlands it bordered. Erland constructed a new main entry road, installed all major utility services, and managed all blasting and earthwork, with particular attention to recycling ledge. The residents have access to 81 personal gardens, a putting green, and a network of walking paths through the surrounding woods. An irrigation system uses water from the quarries to maintain the landscaping. A deck overhanging a quarry and a gazebo provide restful spots to enjoy nature.
