Boardwalk
This 4.9-acre site located on the west shore of Grand Lake St. Mary in northwest Ohio is less than a half-mile from downtown Celina and includes an existing restaurant directly across the street from the lake. RCS construction hired MWA to prepare both a short-term plan for one area of the site that would allow the renovation of the existing restaurant and the addition of food trucks, seating, and pop-up retail, and a long-term plan for the entire site to include housing. Because the site sits atop the dam that holds the lake, the topography was a challenge, but also an opportunity which enabled all off-street parking to be away from the lakefront. The plan includes a mix of cottages and townhouses oriented around four pedestrian neighborhood greens and paths giving optimum views and recreation opportunities to all.
