Hawthorne, CA | Fort Lauderdale
This beautiful panhandle site is 110,000 acres of land, of which 33,000 acres are available for development. Of the approximately 180,000 planned residential units, approximately 50% will be single family homes (±90,000). In order to meet that density on the available land, we have devised site strategies that allow for higher density and the creation of walkable neighborhoods. Our strategy includes a block that is 240’x172’ or 38,400 SF (.88 acre), which includes parcel sizes of 40’x80’ and 80’x80’, with dwelling units and pocket parks designed to yield 6 to 12 du per block. This allows a more compact livable development, minimizes sprawl, creates effi cient infrastructure, and has a density of 7 to 14 units per acre. To achieve this balance, we have proposed a detached home, a semi-attached scheme and a fully attached scheme with pocket parks, pedestrian only streets and tree-lined boulevards.
We are proposing creating spaces for people that are private, semi-private and public,that celebrate and bring nature indoors. A neighborhood where walking, biking and bird watching are omni-present and opportunities to socialize are created.
