BOLLING SQUARE APARTMENTS
City of Norfolk
Norfolk, Virginia

Bolling Square is a newly developed high end multifamily complex. The project consisted of a variety of townhouses and apartments that intermingle as a small community with park-like grounds, including detailed plantings, intimate spaces, and a landscaped promenade along the banks of the Layfette River.

MMM project design included all aspects of site plan development, which included a feasibility study to analyze the existing utilities infrastructure to support the development.

The civil site design provided new water distribution for both domestic and fire usage as well as sanitary sewer service to the property. Requirements for water quality were met through the innovative application of bioretention and infiltration design, which incorporated native plantings of the area with stormwater system design. The planting plan was holistic in approach, taking into account the natural cycle of water. The plan provided both aesthetic improvements, but also functional improvements for the ecosystem’s natural root absorption which neutralizes harmful pollutants before they enter the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
