Building Community Before Breaking Ground
Some projects earn their approvals in the review room. This one started in the neighborhood. Our firm was retained to provide survey, site design, and geotechnical and environmental services for this $25 million Sunrise Senior Living community in Princeton. Located in a Transition Zone, the project required community outreach efforts that went well beyond typical public hearings, making early engagement and transparent communication essential to earning local support.
The project includes a two-story, 72,000-square-foot building with parking lots, utilities, and recreation space designed to support the active, resident-centered model that Sunrise communities are known for across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Technical Depth, Community Trust
Our team delivered preliminary and final site plan designs, stormwater management design, and the preparation and submission of permit applications including project narratives and environmental impact statements. In a municipality like Princeton, where development is closely watched and community expectations run high, the technical work and the public-facing work had to move in lockstep. Our multi-disciplinary approach brought survey, geotechnical, environmental, and civil engineering together to keep the project aligned with both regulatory requirements and the community’s vision for its Transition Zone.
