Successful Redevelopment at Former Military Bases
Former United States Department of Defense (DOD) military bases represent highly desirable properties for redevelopment due to their locations—often on the waterfront—and neighborhood-sized acreage. Many former bases are in varying stages of realignment and closure, such as the Naval Surface Warfare Center White Oak in Maryland, Naval Station Treasure Island in California, and Charleston Naval Complex in South Carolina.
While these properties are valuable from a redevelopment perspective, they also present challenges caused by environmental impacts from military operations. A key to the successful redevelopment of former DOD properties is the involvement of a knowledgeable environmental team that is well-versed in the complexities of the cleanup process.
