Abstract

The area designated for this new project is located in Southlake, TX at the corner of East Hwy 114 and Reserve St. The area around the project is zoned as commercial and will be used as the home for several businesses. It is the goal of Granite Place at Southlake Town Square to supply a monument of current and future business for this area.
Granite Place At Southlake will be the first “high-rise” of Southlake and will provide an aesthetical focus point for business as it will house 15-20 businesses in a building that is six stories tall, 165,000 SF of total office area, and a Five story parking garage. This building is not only functional, but is sustainable as green building techniques will be a focus of this project.

Abstract

Located in Frisco, TX at the northeast corner of State Highway 289 and County Rd 25, the proposed project will consist of 17 two to three-story at-grade, wood-frame apartment buildings and one clubhouse. As per the owner, a soil test has been performed in order to determine the stability of the soil. The soil test has concluded that clay soils will be found in the subgrade, and that the use of hydrated lime will be necessary in order stabilize the soil to improve and maintain their support value. However, one of the concerns of using lime is that it would be used over a large area where only light-duty traffic will be using the pavement on the property. The use of lime for paved areas will excessively outperform the required need for the intended use of the pavement. Our team will be researching different alternatives to lime to help save time and/or money for TX-Morrow Construction, Inc. for the paving subgrade. Comparisons will be provided in order to establish its validity as an alternative. The goal is that the alternatives proposed will be better suited to meet our projects’ needs and use.

Abstract

The Sprouts Farmers Market will be located at 4930 Teasley Lane in Denton, TX. The 30,000 square foot farmers market will bring “new life” to the southern portion of Denton. Sprouts Farmers Market is proud to be known for its fresh produce from the local areas and their large variety of organic foods. This new market will be the heart of a new shopping area, and will feature shops located on each adjacent side of the building. The organic features of the market is a perfect fit for the city of Denton, and will offer shoppers an alternate shopping experience from their traditional grocery store.

As a team we will be focusing on creating an environmentally friendly structure and site through the implementation recyclable building materials, waste water usage, and controlling site runoff. By conducting a market analysis, modifying the current schedule and implementing green building codes in the area we hope to accomplish this goal.
