Westwood Station

Shadley Associates is assisting Cabot, Cabot & Forbes of New England and New England Development with the site design for a new 140-acre, 4.5 million SF mixed-use development in Westwood, MA. Located at the intersection of Routes I-95, 128 and a major Amtrak Station, the project is based on Smart Growth principles and includes a program of residential, retail and commercial development. As an aquifer resource area and part of the Neponset River’s historic river bed, water management on the site is a major component of the project’s identity and resource use strategy. Shadley Associates is the lead site designer and has assisted the development team with obtaining approvals and with seeking support from the project abutters. 

The streetscape in the urban core will provide a destination landscape that can host festivals, events and special programs. It will be constructed of quality furnishings including many pedestrian amenities, brick sidewalks, art installations and specialty lighting. The landscape design will use native plant material, roof-runoff for irrigation, and will recharge underground wellheads and aquifers with clean site run-off. Construction of the project’s 2 million SF first phase began in 2007. The project is a LEED certified Neighborhood Development Project.
