The South Amboy Phase1 Apartments project is a new multi-family residential development, sited on 5.2 acres of land in South Amboy. The project includes 291 residential units within a 4-story building, a park and two amenity spaces. The amenity spaces include two internal courtyards, situated at the first floor internal to the proposed building, one being a pool courtyard and more active and the other courtyard more passive. The pool courtyard includes two main areas, a pool area and a separate entertaining space. The entertaining space includes grilling and dining areas, a bar area with a TV wall and pergola overhead, a fire table with lounge seating and multiple sized lounge seating areas. The pool area includes a pool with an in-pool lounge shelf, a pool deck with chaise lounge chairs as well as a lounge seating area with pergola overhead adjacent to the pool. The passive courtyard includes three private grilling/dining areas, two separate lounge areas with fire tables, a hammock area, a flexible lawn panel and a lounge seating area with a pergola overhead. The park includes a plaza with seating and a dog run. These spaces provide the residents with multiple areas to socialize, dine and relax.
Bowman became involved during the site plan approval stage and worked with the design team to incorporate the planting design, and then engaged once the site plan approval phase was complete to provide conceptual design for the exterior amenity spaces. Our landscape architecture team provided full landscape and hardscape construction documents including material and furnishing selection as well as specific construction details for all improvements in the exterior amenity spaces along with site planting and lighting construction documentation.
