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.

Kansas City, MO: The 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 distinct market rate multifamily community on approximately 1.4 acres of undeveloped land at the Northeast corner of East 18^th Avenue and Swift Street. The Oxbow is slated for completion in December 2022.

Now under construction, The 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.

The 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.

The 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.   

“The 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.

Sheboygan, WI: Rosemann staff joined Missouri-based Green Street Real Estate Ventures, ARCO Construction Company, Inc., and other project partners, dignitaries, and guests on Friday, October 29th to celebrate the official Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening of The Oscar, a beautiful redevelopment of a 17.5-acre site located in the heart of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, formerly occupied by the VanDerVart Concrete Company (once known as the Oscar Zimbal Brick Co.). A new Kwik Trip and a 1.5 acre lot is a redevelopment opportunity soon to be identified.

The recently constructed site is now transformed into a high-density, 240-unit apartment, 4-story housing and mixed-use suburban retreat, with 232 of those units economically priced for the workforce segment. The first residents moved in on Monday, November 1st.  Rosemann worked closely with the ownership and build team to create a vibrant urban neighborhood feel, while integrating the best modern architectural features to match the coastal community of Sheboygan.

“We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with our valued partner, Green Street Real Estate Ventures and its experienced team to create a refreshing design that complements the community of Sheboygan. Developments like this are making important steps in easing the lack of available housing options. This is just one of many exciting projects we have been working on with Green Street throughout the U.S.,” said Rosemann’s Vice President/Studio Director Jarrett Cooper.

The Oscar delivers beautifully detailed interiors in rich color schemes with 1, 2, and 3-bedroom layouts and modern fixtures. Luxury amenities include a 6,000 SF Community Building, which is a remodel of the previous office building, repurposing it for the needs of the staff and residents. The structure delivers a lounge, gathering area, and meeting spaces, providing residents with multiple areas to work-from-home and play, along with billiards, kitchenette, pet grooming spa, bike storage, package room, 24-hour fitness center with first-rate cardio and strength training equipment, and studio decks for group exercise classes. Residents love the convenience of the subsurface temperature controlled and secured parking beneath all buildings. A separate existing building is being renovated to provide secure storage for the residents. The use of the two existing buildings into the new layout helps to maintain a part of the original property in tact.

The great outdoors is complete with lounging area and fire pit, pavilion, barbeque stations, putting green, and rustic playground. Residents easily stay active being in close walking distance to Franklin Park and the newly accessible city bike trails.‍

Joining Rosemann on this venture is St. Louis based Green Street Real Estate Ventures (developer); ARCO Construction (general contractor), Stock & Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc. (project engineer) and GMA Architects (interior designer).

Kansas City, MO: This year, Rosemann celebrated 34 years of architecture for the way people live. Starting in 1987 in Kansas City, Missouri, Founder & CEO Donald E. Rosemann, NCARB, AIA started a small architecture firm on his own in hopes to work in an environment where people and talent could collaborate and grow. He took on projects that required teams working together creating innovative design to construct interesting and sustainable buildings. Hence, Rosemann & Associates, P.C. was formed and has evolved into a professional staff of over 50 and a leading architectural firm with 4 thriving locations in Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Atlanta.

Rosemann’s success stems from its people-centric, family-focused, and fun work culture where we celebrate our employees. We also understand that the industry is constantly changing, especially with technology and market unpredictability. We continually adapt and through exceptional and environmentally responsible design, we cultivate our craft and remain committed to our mission of designing communities nationwide where people live, learn, age, and thrive.

With a distinct history of expertise in architecture, interiors, planning, and structural engineering, we are pleased to be recognized as a leader in the architectural industry. Rosemann could not be the success it is today without our talented team, loyal clients, and positive collaboration with project partners for which we are grateful.  

“For all of you who have been with us since the beginning, we would like to say a very special Thank You. And to those who have joined us along the way, thanks for making us part of your life,” said Donald E. Rosemann.

East St. Louis, IL: The 7-story historic Broadview Hotel at 415 E. Broadway in Downtown East St. Louis is being redeveloped into The New Broadview, an affordable senior and veterans living apartment community. The venture is being funded by Rebuild Illinois, the state’s five-year statewide construction program. Efficacy Consulting, LLC, a North St. Louis based firm, and East St. Louis-based Community Lifeline will both undertake the building’s redevelopment.

The Broadview Hotel was completed nearly 100 years ago in 1927 and stood tall as the city’s largest and finest first hotel operating in East St. Louis and doubled as a regional and statewide convention and meeting venue. The structure was designed under the direction of Arthur J. Widmer for Widmer Engineering Company and exemplified the principles of Classical Revival design as well as modern urban hotel planning. The hotel operated in East St. Louis until the mid-1980s when Southern Illinois University took over the property and offered community and educational based programs.
 
In 2006, the building was turned over to the City of East St. Louis, where it has remained vacant until now. In December 2013, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, allowing an opportunity for the developers to utilize Historic Tax Credits, which provides equity to help finance the redevelopment.

Rosemann’s design will include improvements to the historic building’s fabric in its public spaces for lobbies and activity spaces and will transform 129,831 total gross square feet and 7 total stories into 109 apartment units in a mix of 1- and 2-bedroom garden units and town homes, including accessible, adaptable, and visual and hearing-impaired units. The project also accommodates a home to a Transit Oriented District Senior Services Center providing community-based supports and services and a connection to resources for older adults including health and wellness programs, nutritional support, educational programs, and computer and information technology. The property sits approximately a block away from the Metrolink transportation center and ties downtown East St. Louis to other employment centers on both sides of the river. 

Rosemann & Associates looks forward to collaborating with owner/developer, Broadview Development, LLC; development firm Efficacy Consulting & Development; developer Fulson Housing Group; general contractor Russel HBD Construction, Inc.; engineering consultants, Horner & Shifrin, Inc.; and all the project team. Construction start is scheduled for year 2022.
