We are pleased to announce that our work on the Long Pond Senior Housing Apartments in Greece, New York, has been recognized with The Rochester Award for New Construction from the Rochester Chapter Construction Specifications Institute (CSI).
This award is given for exceptional teamwork between owner, designer and constructor realized through the CSI’s principles of how clear, well-prepared construction documents can positively influence the process, quality and successful outcome of a project.
Co-developers Rochester’s Cornerstone Group and Pathstone Development Corporation were pleased with the professionalism and clarity of the design team’s documents as we worked together on the senior housing project. The complex nature of constructing affordable housing through the oversight of numerous funding sources necessitates thorough and accurate processes. The co-developers were able to meet their goals and are working to achieve similar energy efficiency thresholds on future housing projects.
With more people aging in place, the need for affordable, supportive senior housing has never been higher. With this in mind, we designed the innovative 54-unit senior housing project to provide independent and enriched housing to income-eligible seniors 62 and older – the first of its kind in New York State. Designing the building to be highly efficient, we utilized systems and materials that reduce water and energy consumption by an expected 20%-30% over typical code compliant construction earning the project LEED for Homes Gold-Certified.
