Union First Market Bank
McKee Carson's plan for the Union Bank and Trust (now Union First Market Bank) was awarded "Outstanding Plan of Development" for 2005 by the City of Charlottesville Planning Commission Board. The site is located along the City of Charlottesville’s designated entry corridor. This former one-acre nursery is one of the few sites where an existing stream (Meadow Creek) has been daylighted (without a culvert) and is surrounded by a small stand of maples, sycamores and dogwoods along its banks.
Health South Medical Center
Designed under the direction of Birmingham, Alabama-based Health South Corporation and in collaboration with architects Gresham, Smith and Partners and Worley and Associates, the two-building complex resides on 7.25 acres within the University of Virginia’s Fontaine Research Park. Site improvements and landscape were developed under a strict set of design guidelines formulated by McKee Carson which govern development throughout the park.
Omni Hotel Terrace
The Omni Hotel Terrace is located on the western terminus of Charlottesville’s pedestrian mall. The Downtown Mall was originally designed by renowned landscape architect Lawrence Halprin in the early 1970’s. After falling into a short period of obscurity, it has since enjoyed a flourishing cultural renaissance with restaurants, theaters and boutiques. Working with a team of architects and structural engineers, McKee Carson was given the task of creating an outdoor dining terrace and seating area off the mall side of the Omni Hotel.
