Lincoln Valley on the Fox
North Aurora, IL

Senior Urban Planner for the design and entitlements of a 374-unit, age-targeted development in North Aurora, Illinois for one of the nation’s largest homebuilders. The 105 acre site was previously the home of a golf course featuring mature trees and rolling topography. Adam helped lead the design of the proposed land plan which preserved significant drainage corridors through the property with a design that created premium lots featuring views onto proposed storm water management along those corridors. The existing natural features and landscapes helped defined three distinct hamlets each with a mix of unit types including ranch-style, detached single-family, attached townhomes, and attached duplexes. An impressive entry boulevard with significant monument signage and landscaping forms a memorable neighborhood entry sequence that terminates on a community clubhouse with a backdrop overlooking stormwater detention and water features framed by mature oak trees. The project was constructed and completed in 2020.
