As it currently stands, the seminary property holds 29 structures, 25 of which are historic buildings. The first structure, a hotel called Ye Forest Inne, was built in 1887. A one-time finishing school for young women, the parcel features a broad variety of architectural styles including a Swiss chalet, a Japanese pagoda, an Italian villa and an English castle. Under the Alexander-Eakin/Youngentob plan, the site will become home to 85 mixed-income rental units, 81 historic saleable units, and 90 new single-family homes.
Alexander-Eakin/Youngentob competed with eight other teams for the acceptance of its proposal for reuse for the property. "The Alexander Co. was chosen for its extensive experience and national recognition," Dunclan explains of his decision. "They have applied creative solutions to the development, design, construction, and management of historic and new buildings." A completion date for the project has not yet been released.
