Herons Landing

Nature and Neighborhood

Nestled in the tranquil countryside near Lake Erie’s shores, The Heron Project embodies a deep commitment to thoughtful stewardship. Tasked with creating a residential community that honors the area’s natural allure, our design team embraced a strategy that preserves the landscape’s integrity.

By safeguarding the existing wetlands and riparian corridors, we ensure that the region’s delicate ecosystem remains undisturbed. Our approach minimizes earthwork and mass grading, seamlessly integrating infrastructure along established trails to complement the land’s natural contours. Strategic plantings will flourish in their native environment, and limited tree clearing was prioritized to protect the lush canopy that characterizes this distinct region.

The plan envisions a welcoming community comprising of 36 home lots and 15 charming cottages. At the heart of this development are vibrant community spaces: The Village Green and The Meadow. These central gathering areas foster a sense of belonging and connection among residents. The Heron Project community includes lush north and south woods, a natural swimming pool that offers a refreshing dip for residents, a community house for shared experiences and a barn that pays homage to the area’s agricultural roots.

The Heron Project is a vision for a vibrant community where nature and neighborhood coexist harmoniously, crafted with meticulous care and profound respect for the land.
