The Residence at Chesterfield Corners

Chesterfield, Michigan

Giffels Webster worked with the owner and architect on the planning and engineering of a 132 unit Apartment building that had previously hit many hurdles with the Community Planning Department. The proposed apartment building was within the parking and future commercial retail space that had been built pad ready several years before. Giffels Webster reviewed the record drawings in order to get the site grading, parking, and underground utilities to work for a new residential development while preserving access to the other commercial uses in the vicinity. Giffels Webster provided entitlement services to the owner to obtain site plan approval; while doing so, Giffels Webster was able to rework the building and site slightly in order to obtain an additional 12 apartment units.

Giffels Webster worked with DWSD to obtain approval to build parking spaces over the 48” water transmission main that ran along the west side the parcel as well. During construction, Giffels Webster was also tasked with adding an additional dumpster enclosure and revising the development’s sign location. Giffels Webster played an integral part in the site plan amendment process, performed a topographic and boundary survey, prepared engineering drawings for use in permitting, obtained DWSD permits for the additional work over the transmission main, prepared easement document for the proposed utilities, removed portions of the existing easements that fell within the proposed building envelope, prepared exhibit B condominium documents to split the property, performed construction administration, construction layout.

Giffels Webster is contracted to prepare as-built drawings for the development once completed.
