The Griff is a 250-unit, multi-family development located between Morehead Street, Freedom Drive, and Stewart Creek. The project included master planning, rezoning, civil engineering, landscape architecture, greenway planning, and easement acquisition. Stewart Creek and a portion of the future Stewart Creek Greenway are located adjacent to the Morehead Ridge project providing a unique opportunity for the development, adjacent stakeholders, and overall community. This greenway section is approximately 1,700 linear feet and a vital part of Mecklenburg County's overall greenway master plan, providing connectivity to multiple existing neighborhoods, community amenities, and the mixed-used redevelopment along the Morehead Street and Freedom Drive corridors. The Stewart Creek Greenway conceptual planning, design, and easement acquisition were coordinated between the existing landowner/developer and Mecklenburg County. Bolton & Menk worked with each entity to prepare a conceptual greenway alignment and easement mapping for the necessary land exchange to implement this key portion of the Stewart Creek Greenway. The conceptual greenway planning and coordination used the design guidelines and planning principles set forth by Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation for greenway design and planning. The concept alignment was approved by Mecklenburg County and the private landowner, resulting in land exchange that will accommodate the McAlpine Greenway alignment.
