Arbor Lakes Mixed-Use Development

The suburban community of Maple Grove adopted an ambitious plan to transform several thousand acres of former gravel pits to retail, residential, office and civic development known as Arbor Lakes. This district, which functions as the Maple Grove city center, also includes two-story mixed-use with a pedestrian Main Street environment, lakes, paths and parks.

McCombs Frank Roos Associates was selected by Opus Northwest, LLC, to provide site design, civil engineering and land surveying for this long-term project. Grading, drainage, water quality protection and landscaping were significant challenges.
