石泉社区（Stonewater）: 赢得嘉奖的生态再造项目 

石泉社区（Stonewater）位于密歇根州的Northville，是美国最宏伟的水景社区。激情四射的石泉社区重塑了这片土地的自然景观。直到目前，世上很少社区能做到与石泉社区的环境相比。六片波光粼粼的湖面与一条涓涓流淌的溪流交相辉映, 形成了悠长宁静的美丽景色。在沙滩边，幽静的草地和徜徉的行人为社区增添了无比的优越感。这都是威翰对环境负责的一贯传统和发展远景的成果。威翰开发公司在石泉社区再造了曾被严重破坏的土地，使其恢复了昔日的质朴和宁静。石泉社区在2002 年被美国建筑工业协会(Building Industry Association) 授予年度土地开发奖。

石泉社区（Stonewater）的故事及石泉社区水道的修复

这块土地从前是一片366 英亩的采矿作业区，曾经遭受非法的环境破坏。1996 年的夏天，它被威翰开发公司重新发展成为一片价值3 亿5 千万美元的项目，拥有424户独立洋房的土地。每一户住宅都面向湖面或拥有湖景，皆能欣赏到波光粼粼的湖泊景色。

这次对环境修缮的关键要素是修复石泉社区（Stonewater） 一条主要水道 Stonewater Creek，于1997 年在威翰的开发下开始实行。这次修缮计划得到了密歇根州环境质量部(the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) 的授权和协助。Stonewater Creek 代表了密歇根州历史上最大、动用最多私有资金修复的水道，至今仍无人能及。

 Stonewater Creek 是Rouge River 众多支流的源头。密歇根州环境质量部(the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) 认可了它完美恢复了该区域的原始样貌。石泉社区环境恢复的花费超过500 万美金，这些珍贵资源的恢复，使得后代能够享受最佳的自然环境。

石泉社区（Stonewater）: 一个成功的商业典范

该社区于1996 年以800 万美金购入，分为5 个阶段的开发，现盈利已超过了当初的原始注资。

阶段1 包含了120 块地块的开发，并且于1998 年夏天进行了盛大的开幕仪式。由于需求量极大，剩余的4 个阶段在接下来的三年内就基本实施了。

Stonewater: An Award Winning Eco-Redevelopment Project 

Stonewater is Northville Township Michigan's, most magnificent waterfront community. Stonewater began with a passion to reclaim the landscape and today few communities anywhere in the world can compare with the environment that has emerged. Six shimmering lakes and a gently ambling trout stream provide tranquil vistas of unmatched beauty. Sandy beaches, quiet parkland and winding pedestrian passages enhance an ambiance of unmistakable privilege. The results add to Windham's legacy of environmental responsibility and development vision. At Stonewater, Windham Development Corporation has reclaimed the landscape and restored a once badly damaged piece of land to absolutely pristine condition. Recognized by the Building Industry Association of Michigan, Stonewater was named Development of the Year, 2002.

The story of Stonewater, and the restoration of Stonewater creek 

The site was formerly a 366-acre gravel mining operation and had been badly damaged by illegal and environmentally irresponsible use. Acquired in the summer of 1996 by Windham Development Corporation. It has since been redeveloped into an awarded winning $350 million US dollar development of 424 single-family homes by Each home site offers either lake front or lake views of one of Stonewater's six shimmering lakes.

A key element was the restoration of Stonewater Creek, which began with the start of site development by Windham in 1997. The plans for restoration were prepared with the cooperation and with the approval of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. Stonewater Creek represented the largest, privately funded waterway restoration project ever undertaken in the state of Michigan, and remains so to this day.

 Stonewater Creek is at the headwaters of a series of streams which flow into the Rouge River. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality now considers it "pristine" at this location. The total cost of the environmental restoration at the site of Stonewater exceeded USD $5,000,000. This precious resource has now been restored for future generations to enjoy.

Stonewater: An Economic Success Story

Purchased in 1996 for USD 8,000,000, and developed in five phases Stonewater's profit exceeded our initial projections.
Phase one, which consisted of 120 lots, was opened with great fanfare in the summer of 1998. Because of strong demand, the additional four phases were added over the next three years.
