Synopsis

What does it take to envision and construct a premier retirement community with a complete set of healthcare services rare for the time? This engaging and deeply researched history book will introduce you in chronological sequence to the planning, financing, marketing, construction, and occupation of Holly Creek in Centennial, Colorado. The facility offers not only independent living and assisted living under one roof, but also skilled nursing (including rehabilitation), and memory care. As complex construction problems occurred in the field (and they did), a team effort involving the architect, the engineers, the contractor, and others came up with solutions that got the job done right. As one of the engineers said, “It was an eye-opener for what a group could do together.” You will learn about the difficulties and successes of constructing Holly Creek including a prairie dog colony, washing machines that wouldn’t fit, a drainage basin that had to be relocated, watermelon parties, and an in-house radio station. You will also learn about its first residents, its interior layout, and its amenities (such as three restaurants and a movie theater)―all supplemented by photographs.
