Residential / Lifestyle Development
Huron Oaks, Bright’s Grove
| |
|
Huron Oaks, an 18-hole Championship Golf Course where 2003 Masters Champion Mike Weir began developing his skills prior to turning professional, is located in Sarnia's Bright's Grove community on the southern shores of Lake Huron. We were retained to assist with the re-design and approval of a plan for the integration of approximately 100 mixed single detached and multi-residential condominium units within the grounds of the existing course. A policy framework was developed to address the integration of residential units into the active golf course setting and design assistance was provided for the re-design of the course to complement the integrated residential component.

MBPC assists numerous clients with site selections for new facility development, including the London District Catholic School Board. The Board's territory covers the City of London and parts of Middlesex, Oxford, and Elgin Counties. Our comprehensive site selection process and evaluation matrix involves an exhaustive assessment of vacant and available land, planned development, existing land use, site characteristics, community compatibility, facility distribution, transportation systems, and existing/planned infrastructure. MBPC has assisted the Board in selecting and ultimately developing a number of new secondary schools, elementary schools, and a new state of the art administration centre. |

Rice Development Subdivision
Village of Grand Bend |
|
|
A summertime haven for beach-goers, Grand Bend has a tremendous variation in
seasonal population and is witnessing an emergence of older adults seeking
retirement opportunities for housing and lifestyle. We have been working with
Rice Development in the design of a 50-acre mixed use subdivision situated along
Main Street in Grand Bend, Ontario. Highlights of the project include the
approval for the development of a portion of the land as a community health
centre, as well as detailed designs to incorporate adult lifestyle, continuum of
care, commercial lands, and a 120 lot residential subdivision development. |

The Rapids Parkway Subdivision
City of Sarnia |
|
| The City of Sarnia acquired 87 acres of land situated in one of that City's largest planned growth areas situated along the northerly limit of the Highway 402 Corridor west of Modeland Road. Through background studies undertaken by the City, it was determined that subdividing the land into smaller blocks and marketing the blocks for sale to the development community would yield the best return on the land for the City. Taking into account the Official Plan and Secondary Plan for the area, MBPC created a mixed use subdivision plan that employed the principles of smart growth and strong urban design which featured a range of low to high residential densities with commercial and open space opportunities. | |
