Hollywood Casino Aurora

OVERVIEW
A new Hollywood Casino Aurora is being developed on a 20-acre site adjacent to the Chicago Premium Outlets and will replace the casino’s riverboat property. The land-based casino and hotel will include 900 slots, 50 live table games, an ESPN BET sportsbook, a full-service spa, 200 hotel rooms, 10,000 SF of meeting space, and an events center. Langan is providing multidisciplinary services for the project, including a detailed review and evaluation of the site’s codes, zoning, ordinances, and environmental site history. We are also conducting regulated building materials surveys and supporting abatement design and implementation during demolition of the previous facility.

Connor Lane

OVERVIEW
The Connor Lane development includes two speculative warehouses totaling over 170,000 SF. The site is located within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area Zone AE and the City of Austin Ultimate 100-Year Floodplain. Langan provided hydrologic and hydraulic analyses to revise the extent of the floodplain through the site and reclaim developable area. Working within the city’s stringent water quality requirements, we performed water quality and detention design services for a sand filtration system and a stacked biofiltration/detention pond. We also developed detailed tree mitigation calculations and landscape planting plans in accordance with the city’s tree protection requirements.
