The project consists of development of an 18.89± acre property at US Highway 169 and 197th Street, NW into seven commercial parcels. The site layout of Elk Ridge Center is designed to minimize auto movement once a vehicle is parked by offering easy, safe pedestrian movement between buildings. Parking islands and other unpaved areas will be planted with species of grass, shrubbery and trees native to the Midwest area – establishing a "North-Woods" theme. Most of the buildings are spaced closely together on the widest portion of the site, concentrating density and creating a close, more urban space. This urban feeling is enhanced by wide sidewalks with generous planting beds, pedestrian scale lighting and other site amenities including benches, bike racks and textured, tinted paving. Larger site amenities and building enhancements include timber pergolas and arbors, awnings, sunshades and a timber and steel clock tower at the visitor’s plaza. This plaza will be a public gathering area to relax while shopping or enjoy a meal outdoors with stone-faced retaining walls and a naturally planted pond for a backdrop.
