Alton Place is a planned community designed to protect the nationally recognized Big Darby Creek Watershed. Half of the 350-acre development is set aside for expansion of wetlands, restored streams, lakes, grasslands and woodlands. The project aspires change the pattern of regional suburban development by elevating the living environment for its residents. It features a broad diversity of housing stock to accommodate all stages of life. Housing types include traditional single-family homes, urban attached housing, brownstones, townhouses and flats. The rear yards of each home borders either a stream, lake, woodland, wetland or natural grassland. Located adjacent to five public schools, student residents will be able to walk to school their entire career. The walkable village center is anchored by a signature “wharf front” that will arise from the edge of a new lake; a place for locals to gather for events, engage with neighbors and enjoy watching sunsets across nature reserves. Retail, hospitality, restaurants, professional offices, medical, is provided to service local residents. Walk/bike ways provide purposeful connections through the natural features, extending to the regional network of park lands, sports fields, pools, golf course, playgrounds and many other area facilities.

Shortly after formation, Ohio State Bank approached McCabe Companies to assist in the concepton and entitlement of their corporate headquarters. The chosen site is located at the gateway to the affluent community of Bexley. The project narrative was for an iconic contemporary structure that could find its place within the somewhat traditional but eclectic Main Street streetscape. The diminutive scale of the project would also have to match up with a much larger cornerstone project across the street. A rigorous public process challenged the project team to arrive at a solution that ultimately achieved a seminal project that received the highest AIA design award. The project has found its place in the community and has been embraced as a fitting work of art.

The Project is the redevelopment of a 35,000 sqft three-story historic Canal Building that barely escaped demolition. Over 160 years old, the building is located at the northeast corner of Main and Mulberry Streets on 0.72± acres in downtown Chillicothe, Ohio. The Project—now named “Preservation Hall” - was the largest in a line of five commercial canal buildings that faced west along Mulberry Street and upon the Ohio and Erie Canal on the east side. The building was likely the single largest contributor to the importance of Chillicothe as a center of commerce during the canal era. The development plan is to complete the renovation of the existing structure and to reconstruct a portion of the canal in its original location adjacent to the east face of the building. The development will take advantage of and be part of the resurgence of downtown Chillicothe now in process. Because Chillicothe is in the very center of the pending UNESCO “World Heritage” designation for the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, and because of its unique location at the “Main Entrance” into Chillicothe’s historic and bustling downtown, Preservation Hall is also destined to become the “heritage tourism gateway” for SouthCentral Ohio. The development will be further enhanced by wall displays representing the permanent componentof a multi-faceted heritage education program integratedinto the overall project, covering a period of over 2,000 years, that will appeal to visitors of all ages.

The Hamlet on Darby services an affluent and aging demographic in the northwest Central Ohio market that lacks new rental housing options. The development requires at least 80 percent of units to have one occupant over age of 55. The site is located along the Big Darby Creek which provides a beautiful setting ideal for walking trails, community gardens and living in a natural habitat. The site plan is designed to maximize the visibility of the picturesque surroundings. The homes are arranged with covered porches that face uniquely secluded courtyards, providing separation from car circulation, a sense of security and interactivity with neighbors. The apartments have open floor plans with vaulted ceilings, two large bedrooms, kitchen and dining area, all with abundant windows. Finishes are upgraded and appeal to residents who are transitioning from larger single-family housing. Each unit has two bathrooms and a single car attached garage. This is the first of many more Hamlet projects to be developed around central Ohio.

The former Claycraft Brick Company was forced to close its facility after 60 years and the abandoned site remained vacant until it was eventually converted to a public landfill.
The landfill occupied the site and operated for 25 years, accepting 10 million cubic yards of municipal waste, which joined previously abandoned piles of bricks and clay, exposed trash, and broken methane recovery system. The property became distressed and unproductive, with tax liens and other contingencies accumulating over time. Ultimately, the state and local community came to an impasse.
The high cost of remediation frightened developers and no one was willing to take on the risk, as over $2 million was required just to clear the liens. The surrounding parcels were not developing due to their proximity to the landfill, and multiple adjoining owners complicated any ability to do a land assembly. The landfill parcel was not developable as it was 84 feet deep in many areas.
In 2005, the Central Ohio Community Improvement Corporation was jointly formed by Value Recovery Group and the Franklin County Treasurer to serve as a strategic public-private partnership for long-term land revitalization projects in Franklin County, Ohio. Central Park was undertaken to remediate and close the landfill. Its remediation and redevelopment are a prime example of a successful public-private partnership, one that has required the collaboration of six government agencies, many investors and service providers from the public sector.
Creative solutions were developed that addressed all of the financial challenges associated with redeveloping the landfill and surrounding land. This included securing a $3 million Clean Ohio Revitalization grant, the first time this grant was awarded in Ohio for the remediation and closure of a registered solid waste landfill.
Public funding was secured to demolish a 75,000 square foot dilapidated brick factory, crush mountains of discarded bricks and recycle the materials for use on the site, cap the landfill with 200,000 cubic feet of clay that was already there, and secure a $2.1 million loan to build a world class Play, Practice and Learning golf center known as the Golf Depot at Central Park. The abandoned and fire damaged Prospect, Ohio rail depot was disassessembled, shiped to the site, modified and reconstucted for use as the clubhouse.
Additional developments at Central Park include the Residences at Central Park, All Friends office, Wesney Construction office, Edison Brewing, two multi-tenant corporate offices, ADB Safegate, Columbia Gas Training Center and Bell Equipment Company.

McCabe Companies partnered with Joe Knows Energy to develop, manage the design/engineering and build the first three gas processing facilities in the shale oil and gas region of eastern Ohio for Mark West. Each project involved between 200-350 acres and presented unique challenges. All required significant earthwork to reduce hills and valleys to level working pads. Some required extensive deep dynamic compaction operations to eliminate subsidence from legacy subsurface coal strip mining operations. Work included infrastructure for interconnection to collector and interstate pipelines and rail tank car transloading facilities.

The Cuyahoga Valley Industrial Center represents the largest shovel-ready industrial site to become available in the City of Cleveland in over a half century. The property formerly was used to dispose of steel slag. Through a collaboration with the Greater Cleveland Community Improvement Corporation, multiple brownfield properties were assembled, and extensive public grants were obtained to fund preparation of the site for redevelopment. Over 500,000 cubic yards of dredge material from the Cuyahoga River were imported and placed to elevate and level the site. Extensive access improvements and regional utility extensions were constructed. The site accommodates over 750,000 square feet of buildings. Portions of the site now include and ODOT regional maintenance facility and an industrial lift dealer.
