DELLWOOD, Mo. — KAI has completed construction of Urban League Senior Living Center in Dellwood, a northern suburb of St. Louis.
The $10 million project stands on the former site of an AutoZone that was destroyed during the 2014 protests following the shooting of Michael Brown. The development was funded through a combination of federal, state and local grants, along with in-kind donations.
The facility includes 44 resident units (40 one-bed units and four two-bed units), plus a community room on the main level. The community is already fully leased.
The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis (ULSTL), an organization dedicated to empowering African Americans and others in the region through economic self-reliance, social equality, and civil rights, partnered with minority-owned KAI for this project. KAI provided architectural, MEP engineering and general contracting services, collaborating with structural partners SSC Engineering to create the three-story senior living apartment complex.
