Windover Construction has been selected as the builder for Penguin Hall, a 50 acre estate that will be transformed into a vibrant, senior independent living community.
Developed by Wise Living and designed by EGA Architects, the project includes 192 total homes, ranging from 850 to over 2,000 s/f. Built in 1929 by Ruby Boyer Miller, Penguin Hall's original mansion and grounds feature period architecture in a unique estate setting. In addition to an extensive renovation of the existing mansion, the project will include the construction of three new Manor Houses, each housing 12 to 16 residences. The entire project will have a 1930s style.
Penguin Hall property owner and project principal Jim Mullen is particularly proud of the project's new direction. "Penguin Hall served Ruby Boyer Miller as an elegant summer retreat and then Mullen Communications as a distinguished corporate headquarters. There is no one better than Windover to ready it for a new career as an elegant Senior Independent Living Community. Penguin Hall will live on, enriching the North Shore community as it has for 83 years."
"Windover Construction is known for exceptional quality. Paired with their experience building distinctive residences and other senior-living communities, historic restoration and large-scale developments, they were the clear choice," said Chris Wise, principal of Penguin Hall Senior Independent Living. "We look forward to moving this project into the next phase with Windover on the team."
"We are excited to join the Penguin Hall team on this exciting endeavor. This is a complex project that involves careful attention to historic detail, while integrating a host of modern amenities," said Lee Dellicker, Windover president. "We are proud to have been selected to build the next chapter for this storied property."
When completed, Penguin Hall will give seniors the opportunity to experience Great Estate Living. All residents will have access to Penguin Hall's elegant common areas, plus extensive amenities including a restaurant, wellness center and spa, lap and plunge pools, gardens with a four-season greenhouse and access to Gordon College's academic curriculum. Every home comes with a thoroughly equipped kitchen and sunroom ringed with windows. Both the connected and independent homes, as well as the heated, below-home parking, are elevator-served. All interior and exterior maintenance is included and Resident Assistants are on site 24 hours a day.
Penguin Hall's two-bedroom condominium homes range from $450,000 to over $1 million. Currently, 102 homes have been reserved.
