The Ravines Planned Unit Development
Kentwood, Michigan
This 298-acre mixed use development focused on creating a blend of residential and commercial opportunities while preserving the natural land systems and characteristics on site. Several residential products were included to diversify the neighborhood demographics and promote a higher quality of living for all residents. Pedestrian access and circulation also play a critical role in the development, with an intense network of sidewalks to community centers, village greens and other neighborhoods. Overall, the master plan encourages a broad mix of users and responsible design standards to create a high quality community development. In addition to preparing the master plan, RJM Design assisted with re-zoning the property and MDEQ permitting. The Ravines is now home to Bosgraaf's "Cobblestone at the Ravines" and Holland Home's newest retirement village Breton Ridge - In the Woods.
