The Legend at Beards Hill

The Legend at Beards Hill

Frederick Ward Associates provided full design services for a new multi-story, multi-family apartment complex that will include approximately 237 units. The complex will feature three buildings comprised of three and four-story one, two, and three bedroom units and a community center. The total square footage of the project is expected to be 313,112 SF, with Building A at 128,248 SF, Building B at 88,364 SF, Building C at 90,000 SF, and the community center at 6,500 SF. A separate set of stand-alone permit and construction documents will be prepared for each building to allow for phased construction.

FWA collaborated with ownership and the pool designer to create 3D renderings, provide a hardscape plan for the pool and deck area, grilling stations, and poolside lounge. Design services were also provided for the women’s and men’s locker/shower rooms, fitness area, clubroom, and storage areas.
