Seniors housing developers compete for Global Award

trophy NEW YORK: The one hundred and seventy-first entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.

A 3-year-old boy came to Abe’s Garden last September, on the first night that visitors were welcomed to the new memory care building in Nashville. He clambered on the rocks and felled trees in the expansive courtyard, until he paused to say, “I love it here. Can I come back tomorrow?”

“I don’t know many communities that hear that very often,” says Kim Hawkins, principal with Hawkins Partners Inc. and the landscape architect on the project, who witnessed the moment. “That was a clue we were doing something right.”
