Subdivision phases on former farm parcels
Park Place fields between Holcomb Boulevard and Redland Road have been turning into streets and lots for years, one parcel at a time. A Park Place phase opens with units at the road stub where the grading crew stages, then spreads as the framing moves lot to lot.
Ground here was farmed for a century, so the topsoil in Park Place is deep and holds water well past the point where it looks dry. Site supers in Park Place keep our units on the rocked road base for that reason, and nothing goes on a graded pad until it has been driven on.
Abernethy Creek, culverts and drainage work
Abernethy Creek cuts through Park Place and every new crossing, culvert and outfall gets built under a seasonal in-water window. Those Park Place crews work hard for a few weeks, so a unit and a handwashing station go in at the access road the day mobilization starts.
Creek-bottom ground in Park Place is saturated even in August, and there is no point pretending otherwise. We stage the Park Place unit up at the top of the access ramp where the truck stays on rock and the crew still reaches it easily.
Older homes, acreage holdouts and mixed streets
Between the new streets, Park Place still has original houses on half-acre and larger parcels with barns, shops and long gravel drives. Those Park Place owners rent one unit for a remodel or a barn rebuild and keep it for months rather than weeks.
Mixed streets make Park Place deliveries unpredictable, since one address has a new curb cut and the next has a gravel track with a gate. We confirm the approach on the first Park Place drop and note it so the next delivery is straightforward.
