At Viox & Viox, we believe that successful developments are built on more than just blueprints. They require vision, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of how to create spaces that serve both people and the environment. Traemore, an 87-acre residential development in Union, Kentucky, is a shining example of how we bring these elements together.

Partnering with The Drees Company, we guided this project from concept to construction, blending civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture to create a thriving community. Along the way, we tackled key challenges that many developers face—like zoning approvals, stormwater management, and maximizing land use—all while enhancing the quality of life for future residents.

Zoning: The Foundation of Any Successful Development

Securing zoning approval is often one of the most critical steps in the development process. For Traemore, we worked with the Boone County Planning Commission and the City of Union to ensure the project met all regulatory requirements. Zoning isn’t just about compliance; it’s about understanding how to align a community’s vision with the technical realities of a site.

Takeaway for Developers: Early collaboration with an experienced team can streamline the approval process and set the stage for success.

Designing for Function and Beauty

Traemore features two lakes that do double duty as stormwater management solutions and aesthetic amenities. These lakes not only improve drainage across the site but also enhance the overall appeal of the neighborhood. Our team strategically positioned lots to maximize lakefront views, creating a community where residents feel connected to their environment.

Why It Matters: Thoughtful stormwater design can reduce long-term maintenance costs and improve the environmental impact of a development.

Creating a Lasting First Impression

The entry to any community sets the tone for what lies ahead. For Traemore, our landscape architecture team designed a welcoming entry monument and enhanced streetscapes along U.S. 42. These design elements aren’t just decorative—they add value to the development and create a sense of identity for the neighborhood.

Pro Tip: Well-designed streetscapes and entry features can boost curb appeal and attract buyers.

Parks and Public Spaces: The Heart of a Neighborhood

Traemore’s neighborhood park is more than just a green space—it’s a gathering place. Our design includes seating areas and a fishing dock along the lake, offering residents a place to relax, connect, and enjoy the outdoors. Public spaces like these are essential for fostering a sense of community.

For Developers: Including thoughtfully designed amenities can make your project stand out in a competitive market.
