PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Coventry Meadows Retirement Community is the second project the staff of ForeSight Consulting, LLC, has performed for Turtle Creek Management, Inc., in the Fort Wayne area.

ForeSight’s initial involvement with the project began with assisting Turtle Creek Management with site-selection activities on various locations in southwest Fort Wayne. After a thorough review of the subject sites, ForeSight recommended the 28-acre site located along West Jefferson Boulevard as the best location for the proposed development.

ForeSight’s involvement continued with the preparation of the primary development plan for approximately 20 acres of the campus that included a nursing home, extended-care apartments, and garden homes and provided a variety of transitional care opportunities on the Coventry Meadows campus. The primary development plan process was complicated with development issues focusing on site access and traffic distribution, utility infrastructure, and storm-water drainage.

In early summer of 2005, ForeSight began design of Phase One of the Coventry Meadows campus, an 80,000-square-foot nursing home on the northwestern portion of the site. The complicated design was completed in early August, and approval of the first phase was acquired shortly thereafter. ForeSight immediately moved into the design of the second phase of the project, the extended-care apartments and garden homes, in late summer and received approval on this portion of the campus development early in the fall of 2005.

ForeSight is extremely proud of its continuing relationship with Turtle Creek Management and the cooperative efforts exhibited on this project. As a result of ForeSight’s understanding of the client’s needs, goals, and objectives, the firm was able to tailor its design services and delivery timeline to meet these goals and facilitate construction while maintaining an aggressive construction schedule.
