YPG is a group committed to empowering members by providing them with professional development, networking, and volunteer opportunities, while advocating for the mission of Youth In Need and fundraising on their behalf. The YPG hosts two major fundraising events every year, a trivia night held in the spring and Step Up and Sleep Out, where members take on personal donation pledges and forgo the comforts of their homes for a night to raise awareness of youth homelessness.

Over Drew’s last five years of volunteering with Youth in Need, he has served as Co-Chair of the YPG working on the Planning Committee for Step Up and Sleep Out and the Annual Trivia Night. In January 2022, Drew was appointed as a Board of Director, where his first responsibility is to gear up for their 35^th annual Celebration of Youth gala held on March 5, 2022 at Ameristar Casino Resort Spa, St. Charles. This special event raises funds through the sale of tickets, sponsorships, auction items, and charitable pledges to assist children and families in crisis. Drew will also be serving on the Leadership Committee for Golfing for Youth Benefit Tournament held on the first Monday in August.

Scott Manor Apartment residents in north St. Louis County recently enjoyed a “Forever Young” Prom Night, dressing to the nines, socializing, and celebrating with dinner and dancing in the “ballroom” community space.

Ms. Beverly (top left) remarked, “You could feel the happiness and thrills each time a guest walked in on the red carpet — we all teared up.”

A two-year resident of Scott Manor, Ms. Beverly shared how pleased she is with their wonderful Property Manager, Ebony Johnson (top right) of Sansone Group, and all the amenities and support services that Scott Manor offers to help her stay active and socially connected. She feels that the design of her accessible apartment provides her with a sense of independence for the way she lives.

Minister, grandmother, and spunky Prom Decorating Chairperson, Ms. Juanita, (top far right) (nicknamed “Road Runner” because she never slows down) explained how she was fortunate to have had the opportunity to move into the Scott Manor community. She shares the pride of living in the beautiful space with fellow residents and said that they all help keep the facility in good shape.

The success of Scott Manor encouraged the development of Scott Manor II. The expansion is in the design phase and the building will be located adjacent to the two-year old original at 2111 Chambers Road, St. Louis, MO 63136. The three-story structure will provide 50 spacious one- and two-bedroom affordable, independent apartment homes. Amenities and meeting spaces will be available for residents on each floor, plus a connection to the residents and activities at the original Scott Manor.

Bishop Calvin Scott of BTWF Urban Initiative Corporation and The Oakland Group comprise the development team, with Roanoke Construction as general contractor, and Rosemann & Associates as architect. For more information about leasing at Scott Manor Apartments, please call their property management office at 314.867.0010.

This month, our Atlanta office relocated into the recently renovated Circa 730 Building. We are excited about being in the midtown area as we will be close to many clients, project partners and industry colleagues. We are impressed with the building amenities, walkability to all that Atlanta has to offer, and easy MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) trips to and from the airport to visit our clients and project sites nationwide.

This move makes room for our expanding team and positions us nicely for continuing to conveniently service our Atlanta based clients.  It’s adding to our local culture to be in a fun area of the city, so close to the iconic Fox Theater, Piedmont Park, and other landmarks.  The energy in the area is fantastic and the amazing food options and entertainment areas that midtown offers is unmatched!

Special thanks to our landlord at both properties, Lincoln Property Company and our tenant representative Alex Brennan for helping us find our new home.

This year, Atlanta Women’s Affordable Housing Network (WAHN) is teaming up with Atlanta Housing to provide winter coats to the residents of Westminster Apartments. Rosemann’s Director of Business Development, Kristy LaRose, serves as a Vice President of Membership and has been volunteering her time to support this Winter Coat Drive effort. The fundraiser was a success and all 35 families in this community were gifted winter coats on Thursday. 

WAHN is a non-profit organization that brings together women in the metro-Atlanta area who are involved in the affordable housing industry. The organization is part of the National WAHN network that includes chapters from cities across the country created to foster, support, and encourage business relationships among women in the affordable housing industry.  As new offices open in our Denver, St. Louis and Kansas City markets, we plan to get women in other Rosemann offices involved in this organization.

Kansas City, MO: Oxbow at 18^th & Swift is poised to be the talk of downtown North Kansas City’s popular urban core. Sunflower Development Group, LLC and GSSW Real Estate Investments, along with Rosemann & Associates, P.C., have collaborated to design an unconventional market rate multifamily community on approximately 1.4 acres of undeveloped land at the Northeast corner of East 18^th Avenue and Swift Street. Oxbow is slated for completion in December 2022.

Now under construction, Oxbow will deliver an impressive 9-story, in-fill, u-shaped, concrete structure, home to 208 fashionable residential units on levels 3-9 including (35) studios, (139) 1- bedroom/1 bath and (30) 2-bedroom/2 bath layouts, as well as (4) impressive penthouse suites and parking on levels 1 through 3. The 3^rd floor is a home run with a rejuvenating fitness center as well as resident storage lockers. The 9^th floor will house the perfect harmony of relaxation and wellness with a comfortably furnished community/amenity space providing a range of uses including an indoor and outdoor kitchen, pub area, private work rooms, resort-inspired outdoor pool and pool deck with arguably the best views of downtown Kansas City. The ground floor level brings immediate connection to 3,500 square feet of street-level retail, leasing office, and secured mail/package storage.

Oxbow at 18th & Swift is perfectly located with quick access to North Kansas City’s most desirable locales including not only the popular Chicken N Pickle indoor/outdoor entertainment complex but also Cinder Block local brewery and Restless Spirits, a trendy distillery. Within walking distance, residents will enjoy numerous restaurant options, local theatres, convenient bus transportation, as well as bike rental on the sidewalk of the property.

Oxbow may be a brand-new housing option in town, but Rosemann’s architectural team nailed the heritage of North Kansas City’s brick façades and infill industrial buildings that bathe the downtown community by using nearly all masonry exterior. Construction-wise, the size of the Oxbow building does not allow use of typical wood frame. Instead, the Versa-Dek product is being used which spans metal deck on interior metal stud bearing walls. Concrete is poured in the deck allowing the building size, while still being a cost-effective option.

The new development conforms to the 2018 international energy conservation code, which at the time of design and start of construction, was the newest and most stringent version of the International Energy Efficiency Certificate (IEEC). As a result of the code, sustainable features include continuous ridged insulation around the perimeter of the building, LED fixtures, and primarily energy star appliances.   

“Oxbow at 18th & Swift is a prime example of our commitment to the highest standards by delivering a style and brand that fosters the future in multifamily design and leaves a meaningful impression on the community. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Sunflower Development Group, LLC, GSSW Real Estate Investments, the City of North Kansas City and all of our partners,” said Rosemann’s Project Manager AJ Dolph.

Additional project partners include structural engineer, Fortis Structural, LLC; general contractor, Centric; interior designer, Lowery Design; civil, Olsson; MEP, Olsson; landscape architect, Olsson; building envelope consultant, Intertek; code consultant, Jeff Boyle; and ADA consultant, Christine Scully.
