Desoto Estates Town Center
Previous circulation studies of this 6000-acre site allowed us to carefully layout different housing products, ranging from single-family housing to townhomes. We further detailed traffic systems to secondary roads and private drives to accommodate the housing, which totaled to approximately 10,300 units. A town center for the site plan of Desoto includes community facilities such as a fire department, a police department, a town hall, and libraries. Retail and commercial development locations were identified to support residential units, as well as locations for secondary retail stores and for educational facilities from primary school to high school. Open space was preserved as much as possible, incorporating nature preserves, natural greenways, athletic fields, an onsite sewage treatment plant, an 18-hole golf course, a biking/hiking trail, and churches.
