Acts Granite Farms Estates Sales Center
Media, Pennsylvania
Acts Granite Farms is a 26-acre Lifecare Retirement Community with interior swimming pool, outdoor recreation and trail system in Media, PA.
As North-East Regional Landscape Architects for Acts Retirement Life, McCloskey & Faber has worked on this facility and many others including Lima Estates, Southampton Estates, Spring House Estates, Gwynedd Estates, Brittany Pointe Estates, Cokesbury Village and others.
As the Granite Farms drop-off area progressed, we were engaged by the Owner to convert preliminary drawings to Construction Documents while construction was underway at the drop-off area. To maintain construction process this was accomplished in about 2-weeks. Improvements include a custom vinyl pergola; seating walls clad in stone veneer; colored-stamped concrete pavement; site lighting and landscape lighting. The biggest challenge at this location was meeting ADA requirements for the pedestrian ramps from existing building entrances to expanded accessible parking spaces. Doing so required regrading of part of the adjacent parking lot.
