WGM Group, Inc. is proud to celebrate the Grand Opening of the Garden District Apartments, on Russell Street this spring. WGM provided land use planning, surveying, and engineering for the 37-unit Missoula Housing Authority project, which flipped the former vacant Intermountain Lumber site into an affordable housing neighborhood, featuring spacious apartments, solar energy panels, a park, and bike/pedestrian trails.
WGM negotiated the acquisition of easements on the north side of the Garden District property and is now in the process of designing an extension of the popular River Front Trail. WGM's LEED certified environmental engineers will also design a trail through the property along the Old Milwaukee Railroad. The trails provide a connection for residents and safe passage for the general public on bike or foot.
In addition to the Garden District, WGM has contributed significantly to the redevelopment of this region of Missoula by providing services to the new Home Resource facility, Silvercrest Retirement Home, Sussex School, Western Montana Mental Health and Rocky Mountain Development. Not to mention the Old Sawmill District, which is less than a half-mile away.
