Today marks the grand opening of The Reserve at Lakeview Landing, a brand new residential community of 33 one- and two-bedroom garden style apartment homes and 12 villas with attached garages, located in Huron, OH. This community is open to adults 55 and older and features a full set of amenities such as a community meeting space, fitness room and a business center.  The Kleingers Group was selected by Miller-Valentine Group to provide site design for this project that included civil engineering, landscape architecture, and surveying services. The Kleingers Group is proud to be part of this exciting development and we would like to thank Miller-Valentine Group for asking us to be involved in another great community project.

Work is underway on the new Vance Outdoors project located in the Village of Obetz.  The 56,000 square foot retail project will be built in the growing Alum Creek Drive retail corridor. The new retail facility is unique to this camping and hunting market segment by featuring a 15,000 square foot 24-lane, state-of-the-art indoor firing range.  This project is Obetz’s first large scale retail project.  Building on this exciting project are plans to construct a public park behind the Vance Outdoors site that may include an outdoor archery range, picnic shelters and water elements.

The Kleingers Group provided the site design for this project including the civil engineering and surveying services.  This work included design for a future out-lot, public utility layout and grading.  The site currently drains toward a Village Park’s pond that served as a borrow pit for highway construction.  This pond has no outlet, so the hydrology for the site required some creative thoughts relative to impact to offsite conditions and analysis of the overall drainage area.

We would like to thank our awesome team members Quandel, M+A Architects and Schaefer for a great project experience!

The Cincinnati Public Schools SRTS program recently won the Green Advocacy Award at the Cincinnati Business Courier and Cincinnati Regional Chapter USGBC’s Green Business Awards! The award honors an organization providing educational awareness of the importance of sustainability to the Cincinnati community and/or the public at large. Congratulations Carmen Banks and Cincinnati Public Schools!

Our very own Mark Nolt is shown above with Carmen Banks.  Mark and the rest of our Transportation Group deserve a big congratulations on a job well done assisting Cincinnati Public Schools in developing their award-winning SRTS Program!

A big congratulations goes out to the University of Dayton for receiving their first LEED certified project through the U.S. Green Building Council.  The University of Dayton and GE Aviation teamed together to build the GE Aviation Electrical Power Integrated Systems Center also known as EPISCenter.  The project received LEED gold certification from the Council.  The $53 million EPISCenter Project provides high tech facilities to allow commercial and government researchers to test electrical power systems in airplanes. The 138,000-square-foot facility employs 70 research personnel.  That employment figure could grow to 200 research employees within five years.

The Kleingers Group provided civil engineering, surveying, landscape architecture and zoning entitlement services on the project.  Our contribution to the LEED design included high efficiency parking stall layouts and the design of sustainable rain garden infrastructure throughout the site.  We would like to thank our fellow team members on a successful project:  Hastings & Chivetta Architects, the University of Dayton, Heapy Engineering, Shell & Meyer, and CityWide Development.
