Coffee Creek Center
Lake Erie Land sought to create a desirable community based upon design principles that reintegrate people into their neighborhoods, cherish the environment as an asset and amenity, and encourage community. CDF worked with a design team to combine environmental design with new urbanism and ecological restoration for this 640-acre, mixed-use development that includes 160-acres of prairie, woodland, wetland, and stream restoration on the site centered around the preservation and restoration of the Coffee Creek open space corridor. State of the art stormwater and wastewater treatment systems, restored natural hydrology, and native landscape systems work together to create a unique regional aesthetic for the residents and visitors of Coffee Creek Center.
