This project was the redevelopment of the former Wayne County Child Development Center situ-ated on over 900 acres in Northville Township. The property was developed under a mixed-used PUD zoning and consists of over 600 luxury homes, a retail center, a research and technology park, a township park, and nature preserve. All this was developed around a showpiece, 18-hole Arnold Palmer signature golf course.
Giffels Webster led the project team in the development of the master plan, preparing cost estimates, obtaining approvals and permits, and coordinating the site construction. The firm was also responsible for the preparation of unified grading, construction layout, platting and surveys, off-site utilities and roads, as-builts, and final approvals.
Giffels Webster prepared the site and landscape plans for the 28-plus-acre active recreation park, including the design of a railway/pathway through a historically significant mature forest and the design of a Veteran’s Memorial with a flag assembly area.
