Showcasing Grand Central at the Junction Apartment Community

Wentzville, MO: Rosemann & Associates celebrates the opening of its newest design, Grand Central at the Junction, an attractive market-rate luxury apartment development at 6101 Grand Central Avenue in Wentzville, located near the I-70 and I-64 exchange in St. Charles County, Missouri. 

The Junction’s perfect combination of historically appropriate exterior architectural design elements, contemporary & innovative interior finishes, and limitless amenities support the need for additional housing in the City of Wentzville with 180 total units, 5 (3-story) modern resident buildings, carefully crafted 1 and 2-bedroom floorplans, as well as a sizable 1 story, 2,600 square-foot community building. This appealing development is a critical component of the overall success of The Junction’s master plan, which includes the surrounding commercial properties and other future developments on remaining neighboring lots still available.

The design team successfully navigated challenges related to existing underlying zoning, as well as multiple restrictive overlays that greatly affected the final site planning and exterior building aesthetics. Grading challenges were seamlessly absorbed into the design of the buildings to suitably accommodate the required foundation and slab stepping conditions that the site necessitated. A variety of exterior building materials and architectural design features were incorporated to respond to the historic overlay requirements, while enhancing the aesthetics to promote an improved tenant and user experience.

The spacious 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom unit interior sizes range from 751 square feet up to 1,141 square feet. Design accommodations include fully outfitted kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, subway tile backsplashes, cabinet pantry, generous bathrooms including granite countertops with luxury backlit mirrors, walk-in closets and full sized washer and dryers. Each unit is designed to have a personal balcony or patio space with storage closets. The unit interiors floors are finished with luxury vinyl plank that bring the warm aesthetic of wood plank flooring, with all the added benefits of resiliency needed for the active lifestyle that this pet friendly community encourages. The design of the development fosters walkability throughout the site to the centrally located clubhouse, and to the local attractions and nearby restaurant developments.    

“It has been a great privilege assisting the development ownership group, the City of Wentzville, the design team, and the general contractor to bring Grand Central at the Junction along from early conceptual planning to completion over the past several years,” said Rosemann’s St. Louis Studio Director Jarrett Cooper. 

Socializing, fun, and community are what makes Grand Central at the Junction a one-of-a-kind opportunity where residents are ready for an active lifestyle and luxury conveniences including a salt-water swimming pool and deck, outdoor grilling/ fire pit station, latest electronic 24/7 package receiving system, rejuvenating fitness center with free weights, cardio and strength training equipment, open-concept clubhouse offering complimentary coffee bar featuring Kaldi’s coffee, the adjacent casual dining Sugarfire Smokehouse restaurant with delicious barbecue and outdoor sand volleyball courts, and St. Louis Blues legend’s Brett Hull’s Junction House multi-level restaurant with air-rooftop deck.

Project Manager Ryan Montana stated, “The Junction serves as a great example of what a collaborative effort can do to create attractive market-rate housing in the community.”

Rosemann has been fortunate to partner on this exciting project with the original developer The Junction Luxury Living, LLC; general contractor, Raineri Construction; mechanical, electrical, plumbing, G&W Engineering; civil engineering, Premier Design Group; interior designer, Pamela Calvert Interiors, Property Manager, 2B Residential. In May 2021, Minneapolis multifamily real estate investor and property management firm Timberland Partners acquired the Grand Central complex growing their footprint in the St. Louis region.

Women’s History Month: Spotlighting Nancy Rodney

In honor of Women’s History Month, we are excited to highlight Nancy Rodney, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, our dedicated and talented Senior Project Manager who has helped set the groundwork for many aspiring women in the field of architecture.  

Nancy joined Rosemann on March 16, 2006. She came to us from her early years of practice in Texas where she is a Registered Architect. She is a LEED Accredited Professional and a member of the American Institute of Architects.

Nancy has made major contributions to the success of Rosemann and to the satisfaction of her clients. Nancy commented, “Rosemann’s focus on designing communities for seniors, families, and students struck a chord with me. Service to our clients is key but creating places that are truly home to their occupants fuels my energy and pride in my work.”

Nancy’s effective participation and leadership roles are many and include serving as Past President of Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) St. Louis and current member of the Crew St. Louis’ Diversity Equity Inclusion Committee, along with US Green Building Council Missouri Gateway Chapter, Past Board President, Chair of Development. She also serves on the Women Connect Advisory Board for Midwest BankCentre and is a member of the Spirit of St. Louis Women’s Fund, a giving circle.

When Nancy started practicing architecture forty years ago, there were very few women in the profession and almost none in senior leadership. Over time, she has witnessed change and is pleased to see women shine in the AEC field as they become Principals of national firms, execute choice commissions for buildings that win awards, and an increasingly large class of energetic and enthusiastic female graduates at the start of their careers. Each of these accomplishments is exciting but they all announce that Nancy’s generational struggle was worthwhile and is yielding fruit.

Nancy has enriched her profession by supporting community efforts to encourage women of all backgrounds to pursue careers in the field of architecture. She is passionate about giving back to the field and enjoys empowering and coaching the future generation of architects to set them on a path for licensure. Nancy said, “Architecture is a welcoming profession. Talent and ability is recognized first. It is never easy, but it is easier in architecture than in many other professions. My advice for anyone entering architecture is to follow your passion. If you love it, you will be successful.” 

Thank you, Nancy for everything that you do for Rosemann!

Meet Rosemann Denver!


On a Friday afternoon in 2013, a prior client reached out to CEO Founder Donald E. Rosemann about a potential senior housing project in Colorado Springs, CO. On Monday, Don hopped on a plane to visit the site and by Wednesday, our crew was on the job designing MorningStar at Bear Creek, a senior living assisted living and memory care community.

Since 2008, Rosemann leadership had been encouraged by the explosive growth in the Denver region and saw it as a prime spot not only to foster expansion but to also continue sharping the firm’s unwavering principle of commitment to serving our clients. The MorningStar Bear Creek project provided the perfect launching pad for a formal Denver presence for the firm. Coupled with Don’s son Nathan’s prior three-year residency in Denver working in architecture, Nathan permanently relocated and soon established Rosemann’s Denver office out of his apartment on December 23, 2013.

Our success on that first project led to strong conversations with other local developers, generating the continued opportunities that spurred the Denver office’s organic and steady growth. Subsequently, Nathan hired Zach Callaway for design and drafting in January 2014, followed closely by Kerrie Kannberg as Project Architect that May. In December 2014, Rosemann humbly displayed our first official sign on the door of 2809 Larimer Street in RiNo.

Since then, Rosemann Denver has continued to grow its staff to a total staff of nine with one principal-in-charge, three project architect, three designers/drafters, one design consultant, and a director of business development. We relocated to the current office location at 3343 Larimer Street in June 2020.

Today, Rosemann Denver is ambitiously focused on its national client base and building strong, strategic partnerships to advance the firm’s extensive résumé of affordable and LIHTC, market rate multi-family, senior living (affordable, independent, assisted, and memory care), and student housing design. Historic?

Here are just a few Rosemann unmatched designs to view in the Colorado region. 

See the Exciting Progress at The Oscar, Sheboygan, WI

Sheboygan, WI – Exciting progress is taking place despite the cold at “The Oscar,” a brand-new apartment housing and mixed-use development situated on a 17.5-acre site in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Clayton, Missouri based Green Street Development Group is leading the development with Rosemann & Associates designing this modern structure that will soon complement the beautiful community of Sheboygan. Also teaming up on this project is ARCO Construction Company, Inc. and Stock & Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc.

“With inviting living spaces on the way, the Oscar is being built in direct response to a need for additional apartment housing as the landscape for multifamily living grows in the area. Once complete, the development will house 240-units of which 232 of those units will be economically priced for the workforce segment,” said Rosemann Studio Director Jarrett Cooper.

Future residents enjoy seeing the journey evolve as the first phase is going up vertically and occupancy is projected for October 2021. Stay tuned!

Modena Cherry Creek Delivers Luxury Senior Licensed Care to Denver, CO

Denver, CO: Developed in partnership with Banner Development and Solera Senior Living, Modena Cherry Creek is 84,000 square feet of space with its distinctive three-story construction design capitalizing on its panoramic views of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Modena is tailored to the next generation of seniors with 64 Assisted Living and 32 Memory Care spacious suites, multiple unique floorplans, sophisticated design and amenities, and inspiring indoor and outdoor spaces. Its convenient urban location is just minutes to nearby medical offices, shopping plazas, and a selection of cultural and entertainment venues. Better yet, Solera is located right on the Cherry Creek Trail and only a few steps to Denver Jewish Day School.

Construction was recently completed in October and the complex is accepting new residences on November 15. Solera Senior Living and Rosemann & Associates, P.C. aspired to re-think the traditional senior housing design language and push the envelope of what senior housing could be. This was accomplished through a sleek, contemporary design, and a heavy focus on natural light with large floor to ceiling windows connecting the interior with the exterior. From the beginning of the design process there was an emphasis to respect the strong presence of the street’s western arcing curve. This provided opportunities of westerly front range mountain views from residential units and common spaces and focused views to the east for uninterrupted sunrises and sunsets.

“It has been exciting to see this amazing project come to life. We are delighted to have Modena Cherry Creek join the Denver community, where it fills an important need for quality senior housing, services, and jobs in the area.” said Rosemann’s CEO/Founder Donald E. Rosemann.

Modena brings the best in comprehensive new Wellness technology including Telehealth virtual doctor visits, Path03Gen Solutions UVZone shoe sanitizing station, PopID hands free temperature screening, and electrostatic disinfecting sprayers.

Lifestyle amenities include the casually elegant third floor Creekside lounge, revitalizing yoga center with outdoor terrace, exhibition kitchen, cozy rooftop terrace fireplace, roomy private balconies, and an exceptional fine dining experience created by a master executive chef.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the opening of this unique development and we are grateful for the collaborative effort by the project team to expand the supply of senior licensed care in Denver,” said Rosemann’s Denver Studio Director Nathan Rosemann.


Rosemann joined forces on this venture with owner Solera Senior Living and developer Banner Development, LLC; along with civil engineer, Manhard Consulting; engineering services, Smith & Boucher, Inc.
