Following unsuccessful attempts at obtaining local governmental
approvals, the Home Depot Corp. hired Stuart and Associates for
acquisition feasibility, site planning and permitting for a 36.3 acre
I-75 interchange property. We developed a site plan sensitive
master plan using a design with nature approach; the plan
conserved a large number of oak, palm and pine trees and 8.5
acres of native habitat. We redesigned the center so as to address
the large, "Big Box Retail" building issue. The Bonita Springs Home
Depot design featured numerous awnings and canopies, extensive
use of glass,ornamental metals and textures, and multiple roof line
elevation changes and parapets to address this key political issue
so as to obtain approval. Initiating a comprehensive public
neighborhood workshop program, the project obtained approval
for 240,000 SF of commercial retail and a 125 room interstate hotel. |
