Gerrard Corporation has awarded the project to local general contractor, Ellis Stone Construction (Stevens Point), in an effort to better partner with the community by creating local jobs and further enhancing the local economy. Says Peter Gerrard, “With Ellis Stone’s long track record, we feel confident in the quality control they’ll provide.” Peter continues, “This project would not have been possible without the city’s commitment and support in bringing this project to fruition.”
Students will enjoy the convenience University Point will provide, both in terms of proximity to campus, shopping centers, and restaurants; and because of all the amenities which will be included, such as off-street parking, walk-in closets, a washer and dryer in each unit, high-efficiency gas forced air heat, and central air conditioning.
Gerrard Corporation is committed to developing energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings, using products that provide the best energy efficiency, such as sound masonry construction—benefitting both the environment and the tenants.

Gerrard Corporation to Complete New Senior Living Townhomes, Hudson, WI
Gerrard Corporation has broken ground on the new townhomes called Heritage Cottages in Hudson, WI. Designed for active adults fifty-five and better, the Heritage Cottage townhomes are located within the subdivision known as Heritage Greens with the first buildings to be ready for occupancy in March, 2009.
Heritage Cottages townhomes will include one- and two- bedroom apartments in single-level four-plex buildings with a garden/cottage design. Grounds include 94 acres of beautifully landscaped lawns, ponds, pavilions, and a water feature. Says Paul Gerrard, “These comfortable townhomes are perfect for those with an active lifestyle who want comfort and convenience, in a quality home, without the inconveniences of homeownership.”
Tenants will enjoy the privacy Heritage Cottages provides—each apartment has its own private front entrance patio, an attached garage with automatic opener, and extra sound-proofing. The townhomes also provide amenities especially designed for convenience: a walk-in laundry room with pantry and storage space; walk-in closets in bedrooms; cable, telephone, and internet access in each room; and a walk-in shower with optional tub. Additionally, each unit is handicapped accessible as well as adaptable.
Innovative electric in-floor radiant heat will be installed to increase energy efficiency. This system will use the building's foundation and the ground below as a heat storage reservoir during electric off-peak, low-cost hours. Heat will then be radiated from the storage reservoir through the slab into the floor. Electric baseboard heat will be provided as an alternative or as a supplemental heating source. To further conserve energy, the heat and utilities will be set up for on-peak/off-peak metering, so residents can choose to conserve energy dollars by utilizing major appliances and even extra heat during off-peak hours. With careful conservation, tenants can save over 75% during off-peak hours.
The townhomes also include a large community center for private and community functions, on-site beauty/barber facility, sports court/fitness area, a subsidized door-to-door transportation program, as well as an on-site rental management office and a maintenance person on-call.
