Sebago’s multidisciplinary approach encompassed civil engineering, environmental permitting, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental services, and traffic analysis. A central component of the project involved designing a specialized stormwater pond system that serves dual purposes: providing required stormwater treatment while recreating the natural wetland ecosystem that previously existed on the site before historical filling activities. This innovative approach to stormwater management not only meets regulatory requirements but actively restores environmental function to the property.

The project represents a successful model of community-focused development, converting private land into a combination of residential housing and public recreational space. Working closely with HW Fine Homes, who served as client and provided architectural design services, Sebago coordinated extensively with the City of South Portland to navigate the complex process of rezoning and development approval. The stormwater pond design specifically emphasizes natural wetland aesthetics, creating an amenity that enhances both the residential community and surrounding public spaces while addressing the growing regional need for quality housing options.
