The redevelopment included adding a second story to the southern half of the building, creating a mezzanine level, completely renovating the interior of the first floor and redesigning exterior façades, curbing, walkways, parking, lighting, and landscaping.   The facility includes 2 ice skating rinks, an Olympic size swimming pool, a gymnastics training facility, batting cages, squash courts, a restaurant and snack bar, mezzanine viewing areas, basketball courts, tennis courts, a multi-purpose turf field, running track, and ancillary retail, office, and daycare facilities.

Greenwich Skating Club

The Greenwich Skating Club, Inc. demolished and reconstructed an existing facility on their 2.3 acre property in Greenwich, CT. For several decades, the Club has operated as a privately owned facility that offers organized competition, practice and instruction in hockey and figure skating as well as general skating time. The project entailed the construction of an approximately 9,000± square foot, two story clubhouse building that has a viewing room, locker rooms, gathering space, a kitchen and cafeteria, lavatories and miscellaneous rooms for coaches, skate sharpening, etc. Construction also included a separate building to house a zamboni and other mechanical equipment. We performed related site work such as grading, drainage improvements, utility services and reconfiguration of an existing service drive. The existing, full size outdoor hockey rink remained. We also introduced drainage improvements, Low Impact Development (LID) measures and new, state of the art mechanical/refrigeration equipment. The site is located near East Brothers Brook and is within a Special Flood Hazard Area making it necessary to design the project to comply with FEMA and local Flood Hazard Overlay Zone requirements as well as providing compensatory storage of flood waters.

Greenwich YMCA

We provided engineering services associated with site design, permitting and construction of the Phase 1 expansion of the Greenwich YMCA including a new State of the Art Olympics Aquatics Center with 50 meter by 25 meter. Engineering services included design of site grading, drainage, utilities, erosion controls, pavement, etc. The design required sensitivity to construction logistics in order to maintain business operations during construction and to address site constraints and neighbor concerns.

Woodway Beach Club

Our surveying services included preparation of a detailed Topographic Survey and processing of a “Certificate of Permission” (COP) Application for grading & dredging a portion of the existing beach.

Inn at National Hall

The redevelopment of the Historic Inn at National Hall, a red-brick Italianate building located on the west bank of the Saugatuck River near the center of Westport, CT. There are several buildings on the mixed-use site including space for office, retail and restaurant uses, as well as a public outdoor plaza along the river. Parking is expanded by adding a level to an existing two-level parking garage. Located within the 100-year floodplain, the project required compliance with floodplain management regulations and heightened environmental sensitivity. In addition to the site design, Redniss & Mead was responsible for seeking and securing approvals from the Westport Flood and Erosion Control Board, Conservation Commission, and Planning and Zoning Commission.

Residence Inn

Planning and Zoning services included Applications for Text Change, Special Exception and Site Plan approval for an “extended stay hotel”. The project is an innovative “infill” redevelopment project in a key location in downtown Stamford which includes several properties. Engineering services include engineered plans for construction depicting the design of site grading, drainage, utilities, erosion controls and team coordination. The project required designing an upgrade to an undersized City owned drainage pipe within the roadway. Surveying services include preparing a Property and Topographic Survey, Consolidation and Easement Maps.

Atlantic Station

We provided land use planning consulting, land surveying and civil engineering services for the preservation and reuse of the historic Atlantic Street Post Office into 650 units of high-rise luxury apartments in two towers including ground level retail of 50,000SF.

Charter Communications/Gateway

Gateway is a transit-adjacent, mixed-use development located on a six-acre parcel of land on the west side of Washington Boulevard, abutting the Metro North Railroad and includes commuter access to up to 500 surplus parking spaces. Pedestrian enhancements include a direct connection to the Stamford Transportation Center (STC) and a publically-accessible, 33,000 square foot park and greenway along the banks of the Rippowam River providing neighborhood linkages to the STC. Approval accomplishments include a Zone Change to the Transportation Center Design District, a text amendment of that Zoning Regulation, and abandonment of a City Right-of-Way.

Merritt 7 Corporate Park / Merritt on the River

This 1,300,000 square foot corporate office park is located along 3,500 feet of the Norwalk River. Site planning included the relocation of 2,300 feet of the River; analysis of flood impacts on five completed buildings; environmental analysis and design of impact mitigation such as fish groins and low flow channels; detailed surveys and construction control; and comprehensive permit processing at the local, State and Federal levels. Merritt on the River: We provided Engineering and Surveying services for the construction of a 227-unit residential building (273,635 square feet) and renovation of two existing office buildings totalling
230,000 square feet. Site Engineering included design of storm sewer, sanitary sewer, parking and utility coordination. The project required Conservation and Zoning Board approvals at the local level, as well as Department of Environmental Protection and Department of Transportation approvals at the State level. Access to the site included construction of a bridge crossing over the Norwalk River.

NBC Sports

Services were provided for the redevelopment of part of the former Clairol manufacturing plant, to create 304,000 square feet for studios, production, and general office space as well as a potential parking garage.Approvals for a Zoning Text Amendment and Site/Architectural plans were granted for NBC Sports Group to facilitate the next phase of redevelopment of the (37 acre) former Clairol campus with NBC’s relocation from New York to Connecticut.
