Overview of Granite Farms Estates
Granite Farms Estates in Media, Pennsylvania transformed the original mid-1980s “Building E” for Acts Retirement-Life Communities through a complete interior, exterior, and site renovation. The work included demolition, redesign, and reconstruction throughout the existing apartment building, reconfiguring the structure to accommodate assisted living and independent living spaces within the updated layout. Warfel’s general construction services aligned interior reconstruction with exterior and site updates across the property while maintaining continuity between renovation phases throughout the building.
Residential Spaces at Granite Farms Estates
Granite Farms Estates reconfigured the building to create 40 assisted living units across the first two floors. In addition, the upper floors now contain 20 high-end independent living apartments within the renovated structure. This work required complete demolition before reconstruction activities began throughout the building interior, with updated circulation paths and shared areas integrated throughout the redesigned layout. The renovation also connected residential spaces across multiple levels while aligning floor-to-floor transitions within the building.
Common Areas and Interior Amenities
Granite Farms Estates included multiple shared spaces throughout the building to support residential activities and daily use. Common areas include two physical therapy rooms along with two dining and living rooms. The building also contains two lounges, two country kitchens, a salon, a spa, and an activity room. The renovation incorporated a commercial kitchen and several office spaces within the updated layout, connecting shared amenity areas with residential portions of the building throughout the renovation.
