Community Development to Include State-of-the-Art Storm Water Management Facility

Construction of infrastructure, including a state-of-the art storm water management facility, has commenced at Phillips Park, an enclave of 46 luxury estate home sites now for sale. Located in the Foxhall Road neighborhood of Washington, D.C., the 16-acre community offers the opportunity for residents to build totally custom homes designed by pre-approved architects and builders of their choice.

“Our vision for Philips Park is moving forward, and the community is beginning to take shape,” said William Pryor, managing member of the developer, Phillips Group. Pryor added that all required permits have been obtained and that the following work is progressing:

• Final clearing, grading and sloping of the site;
• Construction of retaining walls for the storm water management facility;
• Installation of utilities, water and sewer service; and
• Grading and paving of roadways.

The award-winning architectural firm of Barnes Vance is serving as project architect for the initial planning, excavation and infrastructure phases of Phillips Park.

The state-of-the-art storm water management facility is being installed by the developer as part of its commitment to preserving surrounding wetlands and the property’s park-like environment. Phillips Park, LLC anticipates the grading and paving of community roads to begin in June followed by the major landscaping initiative in July. The developer will replace all diseased and damaged trees by planting a multitude of trees for each one removed. An arborist and forestry engineer have been retained to preserve healthy trees and identify complementary, as well as unique replacement species. As an additional eco-friendly feature, any appropriate timber will be recycled and milled for use in the community.
