Engineering design and construction phase services of water, sewer, drainage and paving for four subdivision sections and off-site channel (123 acres out of a 400 acre subdivision). There was 60-feet of elevation difference on this site and wooded lots were left in their natural state which required the installation of retaining walls.
In 2006, Caldwell Companies sought to create Towne Lake as a community where residents and services could be connected by water. Their vision included boat docks and marinas augmenting traditional walking trails to navigate a vibrant residential community. EHRA was the perfect partner to take Caldwell Companies’ vision and create this livable suburban oasis.
EHRA worked with the District to create a comprehensive Parks Master Plan, which included recommendations for the development of over two miles of hike/bike trails adjacent to local streets, and within flood control and utility pipeline easements. The District began implementation of the Plan by prioritizing the beautification of West Road, a major arterial street that runs through the District.
The facility features an activated sludge process system. Additionally, the facility is equipped with an emergency standby diesel generator.
EHRA planners, hydrologists and landscape architects worked together to propose an alternative use for the space, re-developing the basin into an amenity pond. EHRA carefully selected native plant materials for both their ability to survive in the harsh conditions of the basin as well as providing filtration for improved storm water quality.
EHRA Engineering is excited to join in the celebration with Caldwell Companies in their achievement of receiving Houston Agent’s “Developer of the Year” award! EHRA believes in engineering with a purpose. The infrastructure and developments that we produce are key components in our effort to create impactful change in the communities that surround us. All of which, however, would cease to exist without our successful partnerships with the developers that make it all possible.
EHRA is honored to have worked with Caldwell Companies for more than 15 years in producing beautiful communities throughout the Greater Houston region. As a proud and long-standing engineering firm, it is our mission to execute the vision of our devoted developers. Our positive relationships with the leaders and staff of Caldwell Companies have led to award-winning residential development projects with the hope of many more to come. Fred Caldwell, Chief Executive Officer of Caldwell Companies, shared that, “It all comes down to trust. Is EHRA a partner we can trust? The answer is yes!” A partnership that was cultivated more than a decade ago has grown stronger than ever in our most recent and upcoming projects.
The best part about working with developers like Caldwell Companies is the opportunity to break the barriers of engineering. The 2,400-acre mutli-use lake community, Towne Lake, was awarded, "GHBA 2012 Master Planned Community of the Year" and is now considered a "destination for living and recreation." Chambers Creek, one of our most recent developments with Caldwell, is hoped to become the largest and most active 55+ community in Texas. It is our hope and achievement to bring new life and excitement to the communities we serve. Peter Barnhart, Caldwell Companies President and Chief Development Officer, stated that “The main amenity at Chambers Creek is going to be FUN!”
“Developer of the Year” is a tremendous achievement, and one well deserved. EHRA is honored to team with such talented individuals that share our passion for building a better future for Houston.
