Located on the shores of Tampa Bay, this 4-story building was the first phase of a 10-year program to add eight new buildings to the site and revitalize the existing community. It has 20 independent living units on the top two floors and a second floor “Commons” area that will include multi-purpose rooms, hair salons, Country store, fitness center, dining facilities, and a commercial kitchen capable of serving over 3,000 meals per day. The ground floor will be parking and building services facilities, such as laundry, storage and maintenance offices.
The structure of the building consists of post-tensioned concrete slabs with masonry exterior walls and concrete columns between floors. The building has a mix of modified bitumen flat roofs and concrete tile sloped roofs. There are a total of 37 independent roofs on this building. The building’s HVAC system is powered by a 175 ton chiller located on the site. A 300 kW diesel powered emergency generator is also in place that will keep different areas of the building functional in the event of a power loss.
