Lee’s Summit, MO: The Historic Longview Mansion & Site Restoration wins Kansas City Associated General Contractors’ Project of the Year, Projects Under $5 Million Category, as featured in The Builders’ Association, Modern Builder Magazine. Congratulations to Rau Construction and everyone at Rosemann & Associates, P.C., Sunflower Development Group, Rosin Preservation and many others on leading the rehabilitation efforts of this meaningful project.

In 2018, this historic treasure underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation and was meticulously restored and re-established as one of Kansas City’s premier event facilities.

Longview Mansion and 50 other farm structures were built in 1913-1914 in eastern Jackson County as the country home estate to Kansas City lumber baron and philanthropist, R.A. Long. The massive 22,000 square foot Mansion was the jewel of the property. The farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Also newsworthy, Blenheim School Apartments Voted as Kansas City AGC’s ‘1^st Runner Up Finalist for Historic Preservation’

Congratulations to Rau Construction and everyone at Rosemann & Associates, P.C., Sunflower Development Group and Rosin Preservation on Blenheim School Apartments being voted as ‘1^st Runner Up Finalist for Historic Preservation’ by Kansas City Associated General Contractors, as featured in the The Builders’ Association, Modern Builder Magazine!

Blenheim School began construction in 1924 and was built in phases over several years. The building was closed by the Kansas City Public Schools in 2009 and put up for sale through the repurposing program. The size and configuration of the classrooms lended well to adaptive reuse as multi‐family housing. In 2018, the historic three-story brick school building was completely re-imagined and repurposed into Blenheim School Apartments, a charming affordable senior living facility with 52 units, along with a large common area, community room with a kitchen, movie theater and fitness facility.

 

St. Louis, Missouri:  We are excited to announce that previously homeless residents have moved into their new, Tiny Homes, this past spring, 2020. The homes, designed by Rosemann & Associates, P.C.., are settled in the North St. Louis area. Each home includes an open concept floor plan with a great room, bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom space. 

Congratulations to the Freshman and Sophomore students at both Eureka High School and Rockwood Summit High School in the Rockwood School District for using their determination and newly-acquired construction skills learned through the “Geometry in Construction” program to build these Tiny Homes! Rockwood students did their part during the 2017-2018 school year. It took from September 2018 until March of this year to finish the interiors by students and teachers from De Smet High School and other volunteers that work for North Grand Neighborhood Services. 

This tiny house project, financed by non-profit North Grand Neighborhood Services (NGNS), a 501(c)(3,) was a collaboration with Rockwood School District, Social Justice 4 All (SJ4A), also a 501(c)(3), and Rosemann & Associates, P.C., to fill a gap in transitional housing for the homeless.

Rosemann St. Louis’ Studio Director Jarrett Cooper, along with Project Manager Ryan Montana and Project Associate Daniel Tynes, created the design that was selected for use after an all office weekend design charette was held. Further, they helped to negotiate the lot separations on the existing site with the City of St. Louis Planning Department, as well as managed the construction documentation and permitting in coordination with Grimes Consulting, Inc. Engineering & Surveying Services and Horner & Shifrin. 

Finally, Rosemann coordinated the required structural and architectural support to assist in the lifting and transporting of the tiny homes from the Rockwood Schools to the site in North City.
   

Construction on a 3rd home is expected to start soon – to volunteer or to assist with funding on this meaningful project, please contact Dianne at Social Justice 4 All at 314-302-0595.

This May, we urge everyone to reflect on historic preservation in a special annual event, which is National Preservation Month. Let’s celebrate the diverse and unique heritage of our country’s cities, states and local communities.

Rosemann shines its spotlight this Preservation Month on the appropriately named Old North St. Louis, a neighborhood situated just north and slightly west of downtown St. Louis, Missouri. This joint venture of #OldNorthStLouisRestorationGroup and #RiseCommunityDevelopment, began with the creation of an urban master plan designed by Rosemann & Associates, P.C.

Old North was originally established as the independent village of North St. Louis in 1816 and was annexed by the City of St. Louis in 1841. After facing many decades of population losses and deterioration of the housing supply, it has since experienced a revitalization that not only emphasizes its historic character and landmarks but also brings the community together.

For the commercial district, Rosemann worked closely with the partnership and community members to recapture the area’s once vibrant atmosphere by creating a design that facilitated the return of urban retail, office, and residential infrastructure.

With the adaptive reuse of 28 historic buildings, the area was transformed into 80 loft apartments and “live/work” units, as well as 34,000 square feet of commercial space. The former pedestrian mall and adjacent streets underwent $32 million of construction to reconnect the commercial district with its surrounding neighborhood.

The development also included the installation of new street and pedestrian lighting, public green spaces and landscaping, and a “transit plaza” that facilitates ease of use and transfer of vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle, and public bus transportation. This enhanced the “walkability” of the neighborhood and solidified the goal of maintaining economic diversity. This project was completed in 2009 and made possible with #LIHTC, #FederalHistoricTaxCredits, and #StateHistoricTaxCredits.
