St. Anthony’s Gardens is a new 225,000-square-foot senior living community offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care units on a 25-acre site. The development consists of 213 residences, including 120 apartments for independent living (120,000 square feet total) in one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans, 57 apartments for assisted living (totaling 47,000 square feet) ranging from studios to one- and two- bedroom units, and 36 private suites (in 21,000 square feet) for memory care.
The project’s original budget was $35 million, and when the job bid, it came in at $44 million. Gibbs Construction worked closely for many months with the owner and architect to value engineer the original design to bring it into budget. The contract was ultimately signed at $38 million, after some $6 million of scope was successfully adjusted.
