Construction
|
Built on a challenging sloped site, the project required extensive excavation, drainage infrastructure, and a large-scale retaining wall system before vertical construction could begin. Each townhouse was designed to offer the comfort and functionality of a single-family home while benefiting from efficient multi-unit planning, resulting in a durable, well-coordinated residential community built for long-term living.

Site Engineering & Retaining Wall Construction
The project began with extensive site work to prepare the sloped property for development. A massive retaining wall system was engineered and constructed to stabilize the terrain, manage elevation changes, and create usable building pads. Integrated drainage solutions were installed to control groundwater and surface runoff, ensuring long-term site stability and protecting the structures below. This phase laid the critical foundation for the entire development.
Foundations & Structural Framing
With the site properly secured, reinforced concrete foundations were installed to support all six townhouse units. Structural framing followed, creating a strong, consistent building envelope across the development. Each unit was framed to accommodate multi-level living, attached garages, and finished basements, while meeting all modern building codes and performance requirements.
Thoughtfully Designed Living Spaces
Each townhouse was designed with functionality and comfort in mind. Units include a two-car garage (16’ x 7’ doors), open living and dining areas, well-appointed kitchens, and a mix of two- and three-bedroom layouts depending on the unit. Two full bathrooms and one half bath per unit provide convenience for daily living, while efficient floor plans maximize natural light and usable space throughout.
Finished Basements & Flexible Interiors
A defining feature of the project is the fully finished basement level in each unit. These spaces include a family room, mechanical room, laundry area, and a bonus room that can be used as a home office, gym, or additional living space. By finishing the lower level, each townhouse gains valuable square footage and flexibility, making the homes adaptable to a wide range of lifestyles.
Mechanical Systems & Building Performance
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were carefully coordinated across all six units to ensure efficiency, safety, and long-term serviceability. Systems were installed to meet current energy and performance standards, with thoughtful routing and access for future maintenance. Attention to insulation, ventilation, and building envelope integrity helps provide consistent comfort year-round.
A Durable, Well-Built Residential Community
The completed development reflects a balance of strong site engineering, quality construction, and livable design. From the retaining wall and drainage infrastructure to the finished interiors and garages, every component was built with longevity and functionality in mind. This Danbury townhouse project stands as an example of our ability to manage complex site conditions while delivering well-crafted, comfortable homes that serve residents for years to come.
