Stevens Construction Inc. has started an expansion and renovation project at the Shell Point Retirement Community, 15081 Shell Point Marina.

The project includes covered entrances and courtyard renovations to provide an outdoor living space for residents of the Turban, Lucina and Junonia buildings.

The three mid-rise buildings will have new covered entrances, featuring modern, curved aluminum sun-shade trellises. The courtyard renovation also features brick pavers, decorative landscaping and seating areas for residents. Christopher Lee Architects provided the design.

Construction is expected to be complete by January 2008.

Andy Lynch of Stevens Construction is the project manager, Lenny Macari is the superintendent, and Janet Edwards is the project administrator.
