August 28, 2017

A new elementary school, two lakes, 120 acres of public parks, 3.2 miles of trails, adjacency to an upscale shopping center, creative planning, and native landscaping come together to make Shadow Lake a wonderful neighborhood. A housing community in Papillion, Nebraska, Shadow Lake is a centerpiece of residential development. The outstanding natural features of this site and the potential for creating an all-encompassing neighborhood were recognized early in the planning stages by the project team.
