Erickson Living desired to reposition their existing Riderwood continuing care retirement community property with the goals of better serving the needs of their residents, responding to changing market demands and implementing meaningful changes to this community. The first phase in the design process was an in-depth analysis that identified the existing character, opportunities and challenges faced within the established community.

Hord Coplan Macht developed a vision with this analysis through the development of guiding principles. This vision was crafted with broad support and input from various identified stakeholders through an interactive process and effective outreach. Campus recommendations provided a solid foundation for devising realistic strategies and property enhancements for the future of Riderwood.

The new Wellness Building at Riderwood won the 2021 1st place Argentum Award.
