The MorningStar at RidgeGate
project is a thriving continuing care
senior living campus in the Mixed
Commercial/Mixed Use Planning Area as part of the RidgeGate
Planned Development District,
located in Lone Tree, Colorado. The
community includes 124 independent living, 71 assisted living, and
29 memory care resident units for
a total of 224 total units comprising
approximately 265,000 square feet
of enclosed space.
Situated on 4.8 acres, the varying
height structure has been designed

LANTZ-BOGGIO ARCHITECTS

to place the tallest and highest
density portion of the building
toward the northern side of the
site, thereby, minimizing the most
immediate massing impact to the
existing townhouses and other
residences to the south of RidgeGate
Parkway. Additionally, the design
takes advantage of the natural
topography of the site that slopes
downward from the south to the
north. This slope allows the first
floor of the building to be approximately 13-feet lower than the floor
level of the existing townhouses;
thereby, lowering the roofline of the
building by a story when viewed by
the neighbors to the south.
From the outset, the mission was
to provide for walkability, connectivity, and maintaining community
membership. The location for this
project was strategically selected for
its prominence in the burgeoning
RidgeGate Town Center, as well as
its proximity to the surrounding
residential neighborhoods. This
immediacy responds to today's
desires and expectations by allowing residents to live in a residential
setting and, quite often, close to
their families, while also connecting
to the vibrancy of adjacent urban
amenities.
