The Hamlet at Sugar Run is a compact, walkable neighborhood that blends nature, parks, retail, restaurants, and multiple types of housing options. Designed as a “park-once” community, it prioritizes pedestrian movement, allowing seamless access to homes, green spaces, and local conveniences like cafés, daycare, and the Sugar Run nature preserve.

A network of slow streets, bike paths, alleys, and trails enhances mobility and placemaking, fostering active edges and leisurely promenades. Public spaces are framed by buildings, with commercial frontages featuring frequent entrances for a human-scaled streetscape.

Architecturally, The Hamlet respects New Albany with a restrained material palette, simple detailing, and harmonious building proportions. Sugar Run Creek serves as the central spine, linking parks and pathways to create an engaging, ever-changing walking experience—perfect for a daily stroll or a scenic walk with a dog.
