An extensive conversion of an existing 317,500 SF, 16-story dormitory building for the Jehovah’s Witness organization into a 275-unit, Assisted Living/Enriched Housing facility located in the heart of the prime, historic neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights.  Collaborating with the interior designer, Escobar Design by Lemay out of Montreal and NYC, our goal for this project was to create one of the city’s most desirable senior living residences, with stunning views of the lower Manhattan skyline and over 50,000 SF of amenities and common space spread across the ground floor and two below grade levels.  The variety of world-class programming includes art studios and galleries, a fitness center and pool, wellness clinic, beauty salon, dining venues and lounges, performing arts auditorium and flex activity space for interactive educational Watermark University programs specifically tailored for the residents.  The renovation involved significant upgrades to the property’s existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire alarm systems, elevators and bathrooms.  The project required strict adherence to New York State Department of Health regulations and ADA standards.
