Under Construction - The Crossings of Willmar Senior Living, Willmar, MN

76 Unit Assisted Living & Memory Care Facility.

Mother nature has been doing her best to slow us down, but the crews continue to drive through it onsite. The building is nearly dried in 100%. Between rain showers we are back working on getting site work installed and working towards getting the parking lot in. Inside the buildings the mechanical crews have started their rough ins for plumbing, electrical, HVAC & fire suppression.
