They Said It:

“Hager Homestead challenged us to blend 18th-century architecture with 21st century construction method. From preserving historic façades to managing multiple concurrent builds, the project demanded innovative solutions at every phase – while delivering a community that reflects the evolving preferences of today’s active older adults.”
