La Sabila provides high-quality affordable senior housing that prioritizes independence.
Thoughtfully designed by DAHLIN Architecture and constructed by Sun Country Builders to support aging in place while fostering a safe, comfortable and connected living environment for senior residents. The community integrates residential units with onsite West PACE supportive services to enhance healthcare accessibility. This project required ministerial approval for a grading permit and public improvement and right-of-way permits from multiple agencies. Fuscoe applied a full circle thinking© approach to solve a key challenge with the lack of existing public water and sewer infrastructure, by designing and coordinating the extension of critical utilities while securing expedited agency approvals. Our team developed an integrated drainage and stormwater strategy that mitigated downstream impacts and met permit requirements, including nine biofiltration BMPs. Recognizing the importance of budget and schedule in affordable housing, our team closely collaborated with the client, architect, and contractor to align design, cost, and constructability, delivering the project on time while maintaining strict cost control.
