Sharon Towers is an existing CCRC located in
the heart of the upscale, mixed-use Southpark
area in Charlotte, N.C. The development team
began working with Sharon Towers leadership
and stakeholders in 2008 to formulate a vision
and master plan designed to retain Sharon Towers'
market leading presence and to strengthen
the connection to their surrounding community.
The phased master plan enhances the access
and use of existing natural areas and amenities,
taking advantage of stunning views and
providing necessary program upgrades, that
began in 2012 with a complete renovation of
the dining experience, followed closely by Villa
apartment buildings to broaden Sharon Towers
market offering; and to help fund the primary
driver of the repositioning plan, the renovation of
healthcare from essentially a medical model to a
person-centered, homelike model. The change
required not only a complete renovation of the
healthcare spaces but a sizeable addition to
the healthcare program on the top two floors,
and offered the opportunity to further enhance
the independent common areas, including an
additional dining expansion, wellness clinic, spa
and multipurpose room.
The desire to strengthen the sense of community
across service levels and apply the resident-focused
benefits of biophilic design resulted in a stepped
configuration that allows sunlight to penetrate at
each level and provide terraced outside space with
views and access down into a beautifully landscaped
courtyard, affectionately referred to as " The
Dell " . The northern exposure of the living spaces
to " The Dell " enabled the team to provide lots of
glass to bring light in and offer beautiful views out.
