Princeton Junction Transit-Oriented Development

OVERVIEW
Langan professionals worked with a team of planners, architects, traffic engineers, and financial and public relations consultants to create a plan for a mixed-use transit-oriented development. In addition, the team was tasked with creating a visioning plan for a potential off-site Main Street that flanks the train station in West Windsor, New Jersey. The conceptual design for the site and streetscape alternatives was presented to community residents and stakeholders over a series of meetings to provide input during the planning process. Langan was responsible for the design of streetscapes, public spaces, trail connections, innovative stormwater management, roadway design and site lighting for the conceptual design.

Delamar Hotel

OVERVIEW
Langan provided multidisciplinary land development services for Delamar Hotel, a boutique hotel overlooking Trout Brook and located near Blue Back Square. The building includes over 100 guest rooms, a banquet facility, a restaurant, and outdoor seating and amenities. This Public Private Partnership project required detailed design elements during the entitlement process and extensive coordination with the town. Langan provided the site and landscape design, conducted a subsurface exploration, and developed an extensive stormwater management system to address the development on the existing pervious lot. The drainage system incorporates both water quality and quantity control measures, allowing it to meter flows from the development and polish stormwater before discharging to Trout Brook.
