“We wanted a home-like environment for everyone to enjoy here. Not just the apartments but the entire campus. Different senses of space, different senses of style, different senses of color, different senses of lighting. All of that is very important for our residents. Abacus brought all of that into this building.” –Ron Walvoort, CEO | Pine Haven Christian Communities
