The Danvers State Hospital project involved a comprehensive response to the state governed request for proposals. The project team was assembled and prepared highest and best use development scenarios. We determined that developing a senior housing campus represented the best interest of the parties involved. The response included architectural, engineering, and land plans; development and operating proformas; a market study; operating, sales and marketing plans; construction estimates and schedules, and financing structure. The basic architectural program involved the adaptive re-use of the significant historic structures existing on the site while preserving the mature landscaping and natural environment.
