Walnut Village
Front Porch Communities and Services

Walnut Village ($114M) is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) located in Anaheim California on a 12 acre campus. Nearly 8 acres of the campus was demolished and reconstructed over a 24 month period in an effort to make way for the new facility. All construction operations were successfully completed adjacent to a 99 bed fully functioning skilled nursing facility.  The new 375,791 square foot facility consisted of 174 independent living apartments, a 14 unit Dementia care unit, 9 cottages and an aquatic and fitness center.   The independent living apartments were designed to provide a custom look and feel and boast 42 different floor plans constructed above a subterranean parking structure which accommodates 180 vehicles.  Offsite city street and right of way improvements were included as part of the project as required by the city of Anaheim.

Walnut Village was a multi phased development.  Phase 1, demolition of a 3 story independent living facility. Phase 2, construction of the subterranean parking garage and 3 story main building.  Phase 3, construction of 9 cottages. Phase 4, renovation of approximately 24,000 sf of skilled nursing space, Phase 5, provide new electrical service and generator to the skilled nursing facility.
