Newberry Co-Housing consists of 20 single family multi-level condo units, one Common House building, and a series of Garage/Car Port units on a one-acre parcel in the City of Grand Rapids.  The typical units are 2-1/2 floors with a full basement. They are standard wood framed construction and are grouped together in two, three or four unit buildings. Provided mechanical, electrical, structural and civil engineering and design.

This project consisted of a full residential housing development from the schematic phase through construction. The Civil design included parking facilities, private sanitary sewer, domestic water and fire service laterals, stormwater management system including below pavement detention/infiltration storage and design of the public cul-de-sac. The design included modifications to the public road cul-de-sac and public utilities.

Site development included vacating an existing alley and public utilities.  This site was extremely compact and providing proper access to all units, drainage, stormwater management and parking was very challenging.
