Construction Progress

Our vision for developing a Green Future …

Pilgrim Place's vision for the Campus Development Project includes campus enhancements designed to keep Pilgrim Place competitive as a vital option for the next generations of people entering into retirement age.

We look forward to beginning construction on new and renovated buildings that move Pilgrim Place toward a "green" future. The Campus Development Project incorporates environmental and technological enhancements that further strengthen this community's eco-friendly efforts to consume less energy, conserve water, improve indoor air quality, preserve the natural habitat, and rely on recycled materials.

Regrettably, the unprecedented economic recession has made obtaining financing difficult as lending agencies have been very cautious and conservative in their lending. Now, with the hope of bond funding, Pilgrim Place will proceed with the following exciting construction elements:

Phase I (Begun 2009)

Demolition of three small houses at Norton Garden, across Plymouth Road from Porter Hall.

Construct a new LEED-certified building at Norton Garden that will include administrative offices and 13 two-bedroom/two-bathroom independent living apartments with spacious floor plans, most of which have already been reserved by Approved Applicants! (See information below on what it means to be "LEED-certified.")

Close Plymouth Road between Mayflower and Alden Road to create a native plant garden and pedestrian mall.

Remodel Abernethy Dining Room and Garden Lounge.

Remodel Pitzer South Dining Room and Lounge area for additional capacity.

Phase II (Begun November 2009)

Demolition of several small houses in Brooks Court and one house on Leyden Lane.

Construct a LEED-certified assisted living lodge adjacent to Pitzer South on Leyden Lane. This building includes 14 first-floor assisted living apartments and five second-floor two bedroom/two bathroom independent living apartments, plus one guest suite. The second floor apartments will be known as "The Amistad Apartments".

Remodel the current Scrooby Lounge into an Exercise Center adjacent to the Aquatic Fitness Center.

Remodel the current Administration Building as the Napier Center, a new LEED-certified resident
activity center with meeting rooms, full kitchen, and multi-purpose space. Learn more about the Napier Initiative at Pilgrim Place.

Remodel current Exercise Center into a two-bedroom home.

Add a new entrance to the Pilgrim Place Library.

LEED Certification

Pilgrim Place's new buildings will be LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Pilgrim Place may be the first free-standing retirement community in the United States to have three LEED-certified buildings. These buildings will meet exacting standards for sustainable development as established by the United States Green Building Council. Pilgrim Place is privileged to be part of a national pilot project for resident development called LEED for Homes.
