Holland Construction Services has completed work ahead of schedule on the new Keystone Place at Richland Creek Senior Living Development in O’Fallon, Ill.
The $39 million development, located at the northwest corner of Frank Scott Parkway and Fountain Lakes Drive, offers independent living, assisted living and memory care services in one location.
The four-story building has 149 apartments; including 64 independent-living, 66 assisted-living and 19 memory care, plus one guest suite. The five-acre development also features a memory garden, a courtyard and a formal entrance lobby facing Fountain Lakes Drive.
“This development offers a much-needed, new rental housing option for older adults seeking a safe, secure, maintenance-free, service-rich lifestyle and we’re very excited that it was completed ahead of schedule,’ said Timothy Eldredge, president of NASCON Senior, LLC and co-founder of Keystone Senior Management Services, Inc.
The 170,000-SF development was constructed adjacent to Parkway Lakeside Apartments, which Holland completed several years ago.
“Our team has an incredible amount of experience handling multifamily and senior living projects that require different care levels and because of that background, we were able to ensure this development met the intended use for the building and the project ran smoothly,” said Holland project manager, Rob Ruehl.
“Keystone Place at Richland Creek’s ultra-inclusive service package provides meals, housekeeping, transportation, and life enrichment opportunities that allow residents to engage, explore and maximize their personal wellness, even in a time of social distancing,” said Jan Brenner, Keystone Place at Richland Creek’s Senior Living counselor.
“With residents and staff vaccinated at this point, people are really seeking opportunities to socialize and connect with others again, and that’s the idea behind the Keystone Place lifestyle,”
The community is hosting open house events on April 17 and 18 by appointment. For more information about Keystone Place at Richland Creek or to schedule an open house visit, call (618) 576-6178.
Holland Construction Services has begun work on the new Mill Creek Flats Luxury Apartments in historic Midtown St. Louis.
The $25 million project is the third and final phase of the Steelcote Square development by Pier Property Group.
The six-story apartment building will include 105 apartments, a two-story structured parking garage, 10,000 SF of retail space and amenities such as a fitness center, pet spa, rooftop pool and green space. The project was designed by the architectural firm, Trivers.
According to Holland project manager, Clayton Herring, the structure will include 5 floors of wood-framing on top of a concrete podium which includes the garage and retail space. The building will also feature an exterior façade of corrugated metal, which will give the structure a distinct appearance that varies throughout the day.
“The development is unique for a lot of reasons but primarily because of the smart utilization of space in an urban area. We’re also constructing a brand new building which will sit adjacent to two historic ones and will tie the entire development together. We are very happy to be part of the collaborative effort between the developer, the architect and our team to ensure that this building will have some very exceptional features for its residents and commercial tenants while also being cost-effective,” Herring said.
This is the second multifamily project for the Pier Property Group - Holland Construction duo, who are also building the Flats at Dorsett Ridge. The new $45 million, 218-unit luxury apartment complex in Maryland Heights is expected to be complete later this year.
“Holland has unparalleled experience and expertise when it comes to multi-family and wood-frame structures, especially within the St. Louis area. Not only are they experts from a construction standpoint, they also have worked with the City of St. Louis and are very familiar with the codes and regulations,” said Michael Hamburg, owner of Pier Property Group.
The Mill Creek Flats Development is expected to be complete by Spring 2022. For more information about the project, you may visit www.millcreekflats-stl.com/.
Holland Construction Services has broke ground at 331 Regency Park Drive in O’Fallon, Ill., for the new construction of Metro East Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center, which is expected to be complete by summer 2021.
O’Fallon Mayor Herb Roach, who attended the recent groundbreaking ceremony, said he’s proud to welcome Metro East Dermatology to the O’Fallon business community.
“Through my experience in business and serving as mayor, there are typically three essential things needed to ensure a successful business. The first, a good building site that will support your growing business, the second is an excellent and capable group of people helping you construct that business, and most importantly, a dedicated and highly-skilled team of people leading that business. I have no doubt Metro East Dermatology will have tremendous success in our O’Fallon community and will attract business throughout our region,” Mayor Roach said.
Metro East Dermatology offers cutting-edge surgical treatment for skin cancer as well as specialized medical dermatology. Owner, Dr. Jamie McGinness, specializes in Mohs surgery, a highly-effective and precise treatment for most forms of skin cancer, with an unprecedented cure rate of up to 99 percent.
“We selected Holland because of their reputation of integrity, and because they have a tremendous amount of experience with similar medical facilities in this area,” said Dr. McGinness.
As one of the only fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon in the Metro East, he and his wife, Jackie McGinness, FNP, established their practice in Shiloh (Ill.) three years ago and decided it was time to build a new, permanent space as their business continues to grow.
“We feel very honored to have been selected for this project not only because it is an exciting and needed development for the community but because one of our own employees recently came here for treatment,” said Holland Construction president, Mike Marchal.
The 12,000-SF building is designed by ACI Boland Architects.
Holland Construction Services has begun construction on a $4 million addition to Carlyle High School, located at 1461 12th Street in Carlyle, Ill.
The project includes a 10,000-SF building addition, including a new multi-purpose cafeteria and kitchen area as well as offices, bathrooms and a lobby.
Holland project manager Brian Dayton and his team worked closely with the design team of Ittner Cordogan Clark Group as well as school administrators to ensure the new space would be multifunctional.
“This is the type of project where our specialized knowledge and expertise on educational construction projects can be very useful,” said Dayton.
“Quality, durability, flexibility, safety and cost control are always top of mind on a project like this. Our goal is to make sure we are creating an addition that will meet the district’s needs from both a budget and functionality standpoint. The entire team has been very pleased with how this addition has progressed.”
The new multi-purpose room will have multiple benefits including allowing high school students to eat lunch inside the school building as opposed to leaving campus. It will also allow for a new entrance to the school offices with a secured entry vestibule which improves school security.
Carlyle School District superintendent, Annie Gray, who took over as superintendent after the project was already underway, said the project is going to make the most of the space.
“It's never easy to step into the middle of a major construction project, especially while also dealing with COVID-19,” said Gray. “However, Holland has done an excellent job of keeping me filled in on all the progress and has been extremely responsive to any questions I might have. These additions, especially the added security features, will be a tremendous benefit to our staff and students.”
Other partners on the high school addition included Millenia Professional Services of Illinois, Cordogan Clark & Associates, BRiC Partnership, William S. Ford & Associates and Quality Testing & Engineering, Inc.
The project is expected to be complete by January 2021.
