...well, the Dover Kohl-led TND charrette for the Hudson Farms (2,000+ acre site) just ended on Thursday and, from what I saw during the open house last Tuesday, it is shaping up to be a very unique project. The project is located on Pike Road roughly along the east side of the road between Thorington and Wallahatchie Roads.
One of the lead parts of the development team is from Colorado (www.urban-villages.com) and is really emphasizing the conversation and "green" component.
Not sure how those angles will play in the Southeast (as opposed to the Mountain West where they are a real big deal).
Regardless though, expect some version of the plans to be released in August for public review with a groundbreaking planned for late 2008. Not surprisingly (because DKP is involved), the proposed site plan has many interesting features.
The project is also planning to use the SmartCode for permitting (it is currently zoned for a former PUD).
So, if you are counting, this makes 5 announced TNDs in Montgomery:
1. The Waters (open)
2. Hampstead (scheduled groundbreaking this year)
3. Chanticleer (Vaughn Road)
4. Lafayette (Chantilly Parkway)
5. Hudson Farms
In other words, if the downtown and midtown revitalization efforts don't work, East Montgomery might well become Robert Trent Jones TND Trail...
