Since 2014, our structural team has partnered with Gori and Associates (architect) on new Keystone Senior communities located in the midwest, northeast and southeast regions. The senior communities offer independent living, assisted living and memory care options for residents. In addition, there are a variety of amenities such as restaurant-style dining, community, activity and movie rooms, libraries, fitness centers, pubs, salons/barber shops, courtyards and underground parking.

Keystone Place at Naples Preserve – Naples, FL. Naples Preserve is a slab on grade building comprised of composite steel joist framing with concrete over metal deck, cold-formed steel stud walls, structural steel beams and columns, and open-web wood roof truss framing. The Florida Building Code for this coastal area requires building design for Ultimate Design Wind Speeds of 170 mph. Building stability was accomplished by using interior and exterior metal stud walls that were strap braced with Simpson hold-down anchors at each floor and at the foundation walls. (188,000 SF, 3 stories, 197 units)
Keystone Place at Terra Bella – Land O’Lakes, FL. Terra Bella’s structural frame consists of cold-formed steel stud walls on the first level, wood stud walls on the upper levels and open-web wood trusses at each floor and the roof. The combination of bearing wall framing systems resulted in unique structural detailing at the second floor for a smooth transition between bearing walls and lateral force resisting systems. Wood structural panel shear walls, strapped cold-formed steel shear walls and structural steel moment frames were designed to provide lateral stability for the high wind region of Western Florida while maintaining the open floor plan common areas of the first floor. (146,440 SF, 4 stories, 140 units)
Keystone Place at Newbury Brook – Torrington, CT. Newbury Brook’s structural frame consists of one level of partially below grade precast concrete podium with cast-in-place concrete foundation walls and three levels of wood stud wall and open-web wood truss framing. (125,000 SF, 3 stories, 101 units)
Keystone Place at Forevergreen – North Liberty, IA. Forevergreen is a three-story structure constructed with open web wood floor trusses, pitched roof trusses, 2×6 exterior and corridor bearing walls over precast podium.
