Case Study
Context & Services
Harmony at Eagles Landing is a premier senior living community in McDonough, GA, providing specialized Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. Our team served as an innovative partner, providing comprehensive civil engineering, infrastructure planning, and permitting required to bring this residential vision to life. Our “bread and butter” services included critical utility sketches, geotechnical coordination to manage subsurface risks, like expansive clays and complex jurisdictional verifications, across state and local levels. We also managed the Land Disturbance Permit (LDP) process, ensuring all site layout and amenity designs, including gated gardens and ADA-compliant routes, met rigorous safety standards.
The Unique Solution
The path to construction was met with significant regulatory hurdles, specifically the high-stakes transition from raw land to a high-density residential use. The project required delicate, expert negotiation with the municipality to secure the zoning approvals necessary for a facility of this scale. We acted as a dedicated advocate, anticipating the community’s anxieties regarding density and neighborhood planning. By providing precise site lighting and photometric plans alongside fire flow verifications, we proved the facility’s technical viability. Our craftsmanship ensured that the specialized needs of memory care, such as restricted access portions, were seamlessly integrated into the infrastructure without sacrificing the community’s aesthetic warmth.
Success & Impact
The result is a thriving community where seniors live with dignity and families feel a profound sense of relief. By successfully navigating the “no net loss” tree protection policies and securing sewer capacity certifications, we delivered the project on schedule. Today, 2555 Patrick Henry Parkway stands as a testament to value-focused design, fulfilling the promise of a safe, thoughtful home for its residents.
