Client: ABS Construction

Mike Cook assisted with master planning and landscape design, while Ric Hendricks prepared construction documentation, refining details and specifications. Throughout the public process, the development team received approval for amenities including picnic and BBQ areas, a bocce ball court, basketball courts, playgrounds, a dog park, and a walking path connecting to a regional trail from American Canyon to Napa. The 14-acre residential community also features an aquatic center with a community building, BBQ facility, and fire pits.

The site presented challenges, including high-voltage electrical lines and an earthquake fault, which were skillfully addressed in the placement and design of all amenities. Over eight years, Mike collaborated closely with the developer and city to ensure that the amenities met municipal requirements while attracting residents. Construction began in 2019, and the team provided ongoing construction administration, reviewing submittals and approving change orders. The project remains on budget, and the plans have been praised for their accuracy and level of detail.
