East Petersburg, PA – On November 19, Warfel broke ground on a new senior care facility for Avenue Development. Located off Interstate 83 in York, PA, the 124,000 square-foot building, named The Residence at Fitz Farm, will offer a combined 130-units of independent living, assisted living, and memory care facilities. The facility will also offer a short-term respite care program, where guests of the community will have access to various types of care, such as medication management and occupational therapy.
The Residence at Fitz Farm will boast a number of innovative features, including decontaminating ionizers to reduce virus transmission and smart locks designed to increase access for those with mobility aids. Those in assisted living units will have access to in-house chefs and a 24-hour personal care team. With the inclusion of a wide variety of comfort and entertainment options for residents, including a bistro, theater, salon, and a fitness and therapy suite, the building will be an instrumental structure in providing a full-continuum campus to serve the seniors within York County and the surrounding area.
Warfel is partnering with Roseman and Associates and Site Design Concepts on this project, with construction scheduled to wrap up in early 2023.
Happy National Intern Day! At Warfel, we’re extremely proud of our internship program, which provides opportunities for college students to gain real-life construction management experience. Interns at Warfel are assigned to a project team, take on real project responsibilities, and contribute to their team’s success. Additionally, they spend two weeks in Warfel’s Preconstruction & Estimating department, as well as one week in the Virtual Design & Construction department, learning about the extensive planning that occurs before construction begins.
