The Waters, a 2,400 unit traditional neighborhood development (TND) in Montgomery, Alabama, is the second PlaceMakers client from that state – the first being Gorham’s Bluff – to utilize all levels of The PlaceMakers’ Way, from Meaningful Visioning to Precise Coding to PlaceProven Marketing.
Initially, PlaceMakers led a planning team comprised of transportation engineers, landscape architects, and market analysts to design the 1,200-acre property. A uniquely beautiful tract of gently rolling hills, the majority of the land was used in its historic role as grazing pasture. Several topographic features including five small lakes, a grove of mature oaks with Spanish moss and an old plantation home, characterize the property.
Maximizing both the land’s natural features and its market potential, a new, 200-acre lake was planned with eight surrounding hamlets, each with unique characteristics and amenities, separated by wide expanses of water or preserved open space.
