to my knowledge this has always been a gated community - you can't even see it from outside- and thus for the longest time I wasn't even aware it existed- even google maps doesn't venture inside..
Yep. My mom lives there. Quite nice actually but largely unknown...until now.
the only reason I knew about it is because it's in my footprint area that I take care of for cable at my company - I never knew what it looked like inside until these proposed drawings came out though - it's a massive massive plot of land though with a lot of mini-lakes...
The Cluster, located on the northwest side of the property, will feature four- to 12-storey apartment buildings arranged around a central green and redesigned storm pond system.
On the northeast side of the site, the Village Square is proposed as a mixed-use commercial and residential area with three- to six-storey buildings centred around commercial uses and a village square, along with one and a half to two-storey block and maisonette townhouse units.
It's great! As long as you don't live there. True for so many things in life...
On the positive side, they seem to have in mind to develop some of the parking lots and the great expanse of lawn out front of the property. I can live with that but it will be a tremendous disruption to the folks living there.
Honestly it looks pretty low impact on existing residents other than the townhouses backing onto the taller buildings in the middle of the site. The site of the community square is mostly vacant and the taller buildings are replacing an office building and parking lot.
