Lutheran Services Awards Contract to Salisbury Builder

Jan. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- (Salisbury, NC) – Two Salisbury, North Carolina organizations will work together to construct a 117-bed skilled care nursing home in Forsyth County.  Lutheran Services for the Aging (LSA) has awarded Summit Developers, Inc. the construction contract for Trinity Glen, the new home to be built on Water Works Road in Winston-Salem.  Project cost is approximately $10.2 million.

The home will be one of two nursing homes LSA will construct to replace its existing 217-bed Lutheran Home – Winston-Salem.

“After a competitive bidding process, we are pleased to announce that we will partner with Summit Developers in creating this beautiful new home for our residents,” stated Kesha Smith, LSA’s director of special projects.  

Summit has worked with LSA in the past, most recently when renovating LSA’s business offices and Abundant Living Adult Day Services, both in Salisbury.

Contemporary in concept, Trinity Glen will feature a state-of-the-art neighborhood design, beautifully appointed rooms and gathering spots, chapel, outdoor courtyards and gardens, a playground for children, buffet-style dining, wireless Internet, and enhanced safeguards for residents needing memory care.

Summit President Clay Lindsey stated, “We welcome the opportunity to work with Lutheran Services for the Aging again.  Summit is proud to have been selected as the general contractor for the Trinity Glen project and we look forward to building this new home for the residents of Lutheran Home – Winston-Salem.”

Designed by Wilmington architect David Polston, site work for the 69,062 square foot, 117-bed nursing home project is slated to begin mid-January.  It will be one of the first major construction projects for eastern Forsyth County in over ten years.

Trinity Elms, a 100-bed home, is scheduled for construction in 2013.

In addition to the Winston-Salem home, LSA also operates nursing homes in Hickory, Albemarle, and Salisbury, and is currently building a 100-bed home in Wilmington.  To learn more about the ministries of LSA visit www.LSANC.net.
