Architect: Mayes Architecture & Planning Inc., Sisters

General Contractor: Hull’s Construction, Sisters

Details: The first building of Adams Street Commons, a 10-building, mixed-use development planned at the corner of Fir Street and Adams Avenue is nearly complete. The building will house one of two adult foster care centers that will be part of the project, according to David Tolle, owner of Absolute Serenity, a Sisters-based adult care provider that will operate the new facility.

Tolle said he approached Blackwell Development about a year ago to discuss adding adult foster care to the project. The facility is targeted at seniors, and will be accepting people age 55 and over.

Doug Hull, owner of Hull’s Construction, said the building will be 3,100 square feet. Tolle added that the housing will be apartment style, with each of the five tenants getting his or her own room. There will also be a shared living and dining area, a game room, and an area for an on-site manager to live.

Hull said the company broke ground on the building in February, with an estimated completion date of July 1.

The larger Adams Street Commons project will contain 10 buildings, including another adult foster care facility, three mixed-use apartment and commercial buildings, and four fourplex apartment complexes. Hull said construction has not started on the other buildings.
