Arrow Creek Town Center is a mixed-use commercial and residential project on a 15-acre site located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Arrow Creek and Wedge Parkways. The project consists of a 60,000 square foot retail anchor and an attached 20,000 square foot retail building along with six, 7,000 square foot retail pads. The project also includes two multi-story, mixed-use buildings with ground-floor retail and three levels of residential units on the upper floors.
Arrow Creek Town Center is one of the first major projects to be proposed within the recently adopted South Virginia Street Transit Oriented Development Corridor Plan and the project is subject to standards contained in that plan. The project was also required to comply with the design standards for large retail establishments. CFA worked effectively with city staff to interpret these new regulations, finding creative solutions to staff concerns related to the ordinances.
CFA was responsible for entitlements (i.e., special use permit), boundary and topographical surveys, site planning, civil engineering and landscape design. The project required relocation of the existing major drainageway that crosses the site and containment of the existing flood flows across the property including installation of a culvert to contain the 100-year flood volumes. CFA worked with wetland biologists and other environmental professionals to generate a design that satisfies the requirements of the city ordinance regulating wetlands and significant hydrological features, while allowing for development of a functional commercial center.
