PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Beecher Terrace Phase I is a single senior housing building. It is located on the northern portion
of the existing Old Walnut Park located at the corner of what is currently Cedar Court and 9th
Street. Phase I consists of 117 “senior” (ages 55+) housing units with community and
management spaces, management offices for the future planned family apartments, as well as all
of the associated site improvements of a new City block.
The new building totals approximately 111,857 gross square feet and includes 114 one-bedroom
units and 3 two-bedroom units, community rooms, management spaces just for seniors, and a
management space dedicated to the future family apartments. The building is four stories, wood
frame, and slab-on-grade with a flat roof. The exterior finish will be a combination of masonry,
fiber-cement siding, and panels, with aluminum windows and EPDM membrane roofing. The
building is designed to meet the requirements of Enterprise Green Communities (EGC).

The scope of the new construction also includes, but is not limited to, the construction of the onsite
utility distributions (electric, gas, water, sewer, phone and cable TV), parking lots, outside
green areas, sidewalks, site lighting, fencing, parking controls, trash enclosures, landscaping, and
site irrigation systems.
The construction of new public infrastructure (work in the rights-of-ways) to support this building
part of the Scope of Work for the General Contractor. This work will be constructed concurrently
to the housing construction and will be funded by LMHA through a grant from the City of
Louisville. McCormack Baron Salazar Development Inc. will facilitate this work as an independent
contractor to LMHA. “Public infrastructure” will be comprised of the construction of two new
streets; the renovation of 10th Street; improvements along 9th Street; new sidewalks, curbs and
gutters; street lighting and landscaping in the right-of-way including street trees; and new storm
water drainage, sanitary sewers, and water mains. The scope also includes the coordination of a
common utility trench with LG&E.
This new apartment community will be privately owned by an entity known as Beecher I, LLC, for
which an affiliate of McCormack Baron Salazar is the Managing Member and an affiliate of LMHA
is the Administrative Member. Permanent financing for the development comes from a
combination of funds from the Louisville Metro Housing Authority through the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Louisville Metro Government, the Kentucky Finance
Corporation, a first mortgage, and equity raised from the syndication of Low Income Housing Tax
Credits.
The demolition of the existing buildings will be conducted under a separate contract, which is not
part of this scope. The demolition includes the abatement, demolition, and any required site
preparation scope. The demolition scope will include preparing the site for the new construction.
The site preparation will include the installation of the security fencing and gates, an Erosion
Control Plan, clearing and grubbing including the removal of trees, pavements and remaining
improvements; removal of unsuitable fills (both structural and environmental); and replacement
with compacted fill materials.
It is important to note that the Miniversity childcare facility located north of the park will remain
open and operational during the construction. In addition there will be occupied buildings to the
west of the senior site. The general contractor and all subcontractors will be expected to
coordinate activities to minimize disruption or disturbance to Miniversity and remaining
neighbors.
