Hansen Park is a 780 acre master planned residential community in the heart of the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, Washington).  It has multiple land uses including single family residential, apartments, elementary and middle schools, neighborhood commercial, office, senior and assisted living. Amenities include a beautiful man-made lake, walking trails, common areas and the largest public park in the City of Kennewick.

 The Issues: The property was a 50 year old complex of productive orchards located on hillsides and rolling slopes in a county that had become encroached upon by residential development and growth of the City limits. The Hansen family decided it was time to transition the property to a higher and better use, and they wanted the help of J-U-B Engineers to create a legacy development for the community.

J-U-B took a blank slate and led the land use and capital facilities planning for the entire property and facilitated the entitlement process for a Developer Agreement with the City for annexation of the first 340 acres. Since then J-U-B has provided all of the engineering and surveying of the subsequent infrastructure development.

The Results and Benefits: Hansen Park is one of the most desirable neighborhood communities in the Tri-Cities.

What makes this project unique and memorable? J-U-B continues to serve the Hansen Family as a trusted advisor for the ongoing planning and development of Hansen Park. Guiding the vision and seeing positive growth of the community including major transportation corridors, utility service areas and school facilities through good working relationships with City, School District, and utility company officials has been very satisfying.

 Awards or recognitions: Numerous Hansen Park residents have sold their existing homes in Hansen Park only to build or purchase new homes in newer phases.
