The Consultant retained the services of the highly respected Charles Frazier of Hilton Head Island fame, the creator of “psychographic analysis”, American Lives and a local civil engineer to analyze the physical and demographic context and help create a community concept for the property. The resulting direction was to turn the back towards the existing community and link the City fabric with a bridge across the river directly back to Beltway 8.

The plan proposed to create a waterfront community with a traditional plan and a waterfront town center. A portion of the property was dedicated to retirement housing while the remaining was a mix of town center middle density and country club residential. The lower area flood plain land was deemed best suited to exurban large lot residential.
