Description |
When completed, Goose Creek Village will
be the first walkable mixed-use community in Loudoun County. Its premier
location, at the intersection of the Dulles Greenway and Belmont Ridge Road
in Ashburn, Va., will provide visibility unmatched by any other
grocery-anchored retail center in Loudoun. The property dominates the area as
the highest site in eastern Loudoun County, affording views of the mountains
20 miles to the west. In addition, the
retail center will be accessible with direct entrances from Belmont Ridge
Road and Sycolin Road, which will have shops lining the street creating a
Main Street for the Village. Sycolin Road has been redesigned by VDOT to be
calmed to 25 MPH, with multiple traffic-calming measures and on-street
parking, thus providing the feel and traffic count of a true village main
street.

Project Highlights |
GC&T provides a full array of
services for the project including: (i)
Subsurface Exploration and Final Geotechnical Report for the retail and
entire Goose Creek Village development; (ii)
Forty
(40) test borings were GPS located by GC&T personnel; (iii) Due to the presence of shallow bedrock at the site, spread footing
foundations were recommended for the support of the retail buildings. For each building, the subsurface
information was evaluated and allowable bearing pressures were provided for
each individual structure; (iv)
Construction Materials Testing and
Inspection services that included field and laboratory soils and concrete
testing during construction; |
