A key element of Sunde Engineering scope was the layout and grading design for Amira's two-acre outdoor amenity space, which was developed around a full slate of resident-approved features: a pool, outdoor bar, shuffleboard lanes, bocce ball courts, and patio seating. Our grading design ensured effective stormwater drainage and long-term runoff management across the amenity area — delivering a space that performs well operationally and minimizes maintenance demands for the property owner. Project Completion: 2023 ### Senior Living Site Development in the Twin Cities Amira Minnetonka is a strong example of Sunde Engineering ability to deliver integrated civil engineering on complex, multi-use senior living developments — coordinating amenity space design, stormwater management, and full construction document production within a dense suburban site context.
