Project: Varenna at Fountaingrove Continuing Care Retirement Community

Client: Áegis Living

Varenna at Fountaingrove, a continuing care retirement community, occupies a 29-acre site adjacent to the Fountaingrove Golf and Athletic Club. Varenna offers all of its residents beauty, comfort and security within a complex of Mediterranean-style buildings that combines a classic wine country architectural motif with a hint of Italian influence.

Varenna includes a three-story main building with 75,000 square feet of community area plus two additional two-story apartment buildings and detached homes nestled among rock out-croppings, live oaks and landscapes commanding vistas of the surrounding countryside, totaling 475,000 square feet of extensively landscaped development.

Brelje & Race provided all the civil engineering services for this project including land planning; tentative map preparation; EIR support and entitlements; final grading plans; plans for onsite public and private sewer, water, fire protection, storm drainage, erosion control, and layout; and construction staking.

This is one of the largest construction projects in Sonoma County’s recent history, with an estimated build out budget of $162 million.
