Our civil engineering scope included site grading and earthwork, stormwater management, grading and drainage design, erosion control, sewer and water utilities, and watershed district permitting and agency coordination across a large, multi-phase site with a wide range of building types and uses. The scale and complexity of Shepherd's Path required careful coordination across multiple concurrent development phases — integrating townhouse and brownstone residential units, independent and assisted living facilities, memory care, skilled nursing, and a 25,000 square foot town center into a cohesive, fully serviced site. Sunde Engineering civil engineering team managed the full scope of site infrastructure design to ensure each phase of the community could be delivered efficiently and in proper sequence. The establishment of community gardens in 2009 reflects the long-term, community-focused vision that defined Shepherd's Path from the outset — and Sunde Engineering ability to support a development team through an extended, multi-phase engagement on a site of this scale and ambition. Project Completion: 2009 ### Civil Engineering for Large-Scale Senior Living Development Shepherd's Path is a strong example of Sunde Engineering depth in large-scale, mixed-use senior living development — coordinating complex civil engineering across multiple building types, uses, and construction phases on a 76-acre site.  The project reflects Sunde Engineering experience managing full-service civil scopes on some of the most ambitious residential and senior living developments in the Twin Cities metro.
