The Durham Square project, located at the intersection of SW 74th Ave. and SW Durham Rd., is a 3.4-acre site that showcases our efforts in land use planning, civil engineering, construction administration, and surveying. This commercial/retail site consists of two buildings with a pedestrian access path that meets ADA standards, ensuring connectivity from public to private areas. Being adjacent to Fanno Creek, the project required careful environmental consideration of sensitive area setbacks. Our site design integrated stormwater facility design, site grading, and retaining walls.

In addition to the site development, we also provided consulting services for the creation of 100 feet of public street improvements, incorporating new ADA ramps and pedestrian access. A refuge island was designed into the new commercial site driveway entry to enhance safety and accessibility.

The WCI team providing planning (land use review through application process, and a sensitive lands review for adjacent Fanno Creek). The resulting lot partition allowed design for two buildings (11,250 & 9,750 SF).

We provided comprehensive civil engineering services (preliminary site design to final engineering construction documents), permitting services, and construction administration. Surveying included the topographic design survey, partition plat creation, and construction staking to the general contractor.

This project required close coordination with multiple stakeholders, including PGE, NW Natural, Union Pacific Railroad, arborists, geotechnical experts, Old Castle (for vaults), Frontier, and City staff.
