For the month of April our Kansas City studio is taking time on Friday afternoons to volunteer at Harvesters Community Food Network. A group of 10 employees spent time this past Friday in the Clean Room sorting and re-sealing pasta.

Our Vice President Dave Hendrikse has had close relationship with Harvesters and helped them design the room we worked in. Dave had this to say, “Harvesters fulfills the most basic need in our community, hunger. They face this need with unparalleled tenacity. We are honored to partner with Harvesters in their ongoing mission to provide nutritious food to the Kansas City area.”

York, PA: The Residence at Fitz Farm is a new senior living community underway at Springwood Road near Interstate 83 south of downtown York Township, PA near Queen Street. This 130-unit upscale development is a joint venture between co-developers IntegraCare based in Wexford, Pennsylvania and Indianapolis based Avenue Development, LLC.

Rosemann & Associates, P.C. is designing the beautiful four-story development to support a provision of distinct levels of care for residents, while enjoying a community within a community in a safe environment. The Residence at Fitz Farm is well-positioned on 16.5 acres of the former Fitz Farm and spans across approximately 124,000 square feet housing 68 independent and 42 assisted living apartment homes, along with 20 units dedicated to memory care, specifically for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. One- and two-bedroom modern open floor plan options are available, with outdoor terrace or balcony options.

Residents will embrace the finest in amenities including physical fitness and therapy areas, bistro, card room, theater, library, and salon. At the heart of this community is a focus on technology, infection prevention, equipment, and features such as automatic sliding doors, emergency call systems, and air purifiers all designed to help residents with care and safety and staying in touch with family members.

The interiors strike a balance between Colonial classicism and rustic detailing. Lights and darks balance with understated patterns and color combinations found in local architecture and nature. Repeating colors and materials found on the building’s exterior create a sense of connection with the interior aesthetic. Humble yet elegant board & batten paired with iron and wood set the stage for the stylish and timeless look of this community.

Rosemann looks forward to collaborating with co-developers IntegraCare and Avenue Development, LLC, as well as the rest of the talented project team including: contractor, Warfel Construction; MEP, Smith & Boucher; structural engineer, Horner & Shifrin; and interior designer, Direct Supply Aptura.

The Residence at Fitz Farm is slated for completion in the Winter of 2023.

Recently, the Renewed Hope Food Pantry, a Harvesters Community Food Network agency and an Adventist Community Services center located in Overland Park, Kansas reached out to Rosemann’s Vice President Dave Hendrikse to provide necessary drawings to the city to allow the installation of an outdoor cooler building on a pro bono basis. The outdoor coolers would help Renewed Hope provide diverse foods with high nutritional value to food pantry visitors regardless of age, culture, and health needs throughout the greater Kansas City area.

Following the favorable approval of Roseman’s drawings, Renewed Hope’s new outdoor cooler building has been successful in helping to increase the ability to provide perishable food and hope to the community they serve. Fresh fruit, eggs, vegetables and other healthy foods are now stored in the outdoor coolers – volunteers who are often seniors can simply roll the large yellow bins from the trailer straight into the outdoor cooler. Over the past few months there has been a noticeable increase in people seeking food assistance at the Pantry. Rosemann’s Vice President Dave Hendrikse said, “it is quite rewarding to see the impact of a community working together to help serve its neighbors.” Visit www.ReNewedHopeFoodPantry.org to learn more.
