Consilium Design and the Stanley Marketplace development team are dedicated to adaptive reuse and sustainable redevelopment at the historic Stanley Aviation facility in Aurora: • Westerly Creek and its shoreline wetlands are preserved in place. • Salvageable materials are repurposed in addition to original structural elements. • Impervious surfaces are minimized to reduce runoff. • Shared parking reduces paving needed. • Pervious paving is used within plaza spaces. • Extensive parking lot landscape areas incorporate bio swales and provide additional shade trees. • The landscape is dominated by drought-tolerant, cold-hardy native and naturalizing plants. • Irrigated turf is limited to active play areas and plazas. • Expanded bike parking and service stations are provided. • Pedestrian paths connect the marketplace to adjacent neighborhoods.
