Chestnut Hill College sought to further expand its campus and purchased the 30-acre SugarLoaf estate diagonally located from the existing campus across Germantown Avenue. This purchase enabled the College to nearly double the size of its property, while avoiding additional construction on the existing campus and preserving the remaining green space. For the SugarLoaf estate, Nave Newell prepared an ALTA survey of the property’s existing features and created a Zoning Application Plan to assist the College's attorney in obtaining the necessary use variances based on the property’s existing building configuration.
Nave Newell worked closely with the College to address historic drainage problems that affected surrounding properties, upgraded parking lot drainage and provided a new connection to the sewer line on Bell's Mill Road. Stormwater management approvals were also required to permit construction of the proposed addition within the Wissahickon Watershed.
