OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA
Client: Quail Creek Development Company
Nature of Work
E. D. Hill planners worked with local developer John W. “Jack” Johnston to construct an overall master plan for the Quail Creek development. The 1400 acre Quail Creek development was begun in 1960 and has continued to develop into the 1990’s with Section 5O, Quail Creek currently under construction. The continued involvement of the E. D. Hill plan team throughout Quail Creeks’ thirty five years of growth has insured that the development has not compromised the character originally envisioned.
The E.D. Hill team planned most every type of residential use in the Quail Creek residential area including luxury single family homesites, duplexes, town homes, mansion homes, condominiums and apartments. Additionally, E. D. Hill created the original golf course layout for Quail Creek Golf and Country Club. The seventeenth hole was selected by the editors of Sports Illustrated for their “Best Eighteen Holes in America”.

Nature of Work
E.D. Hill was retained to implement a community concept for a large 2400 acre development in Southwest Oklahoma City. Through the integration of proper planning, site characteristics and market demand, E.D. Hill was able to develop a master plan for the Greenbriar development.
To insure a balanced and high quality residential environment, this community was planned to meet definite objectives: To provide balanced services and opportunities to meet the needs of the residents, to design an open space community which encourages recreation and pedestrian circulation with an integrated trail system and to preserve, utilize and enhance the natural features of the site, such as vegetation, views and the lake.
Through imaginative planning, this Southwest Oklahoma City development achieved a higher than normal capture rate for the different land uses. Previously untried design concepts coupled with unique land use configurations turned this community into a flagship development for South Oklahoma City.
Fountaingate – OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA
Client: Quigley – Magness Construction
Nature of Work
E. D. Hill was retained by developers Bill Quigley and Gary Magness to design a luxury security single family residential community for “empty nesters”. The concept was to provide homesites that would accommodate large single family homes with virtually no lawns to maintain. Security was a cornerstone of the development with a 24 hour guarded entry provided.
The development utilizes a loop street system to make finding individual homes a breeze. Developer’s working with E. D. Hill Planners created a unique recirculating stream with a large waterfall at the entrance. Common facilities included a clubhouse and cabana, swimming pool and putting green. Attention to detail was given to every aspect of the development including street lighting, cobblestone paving (a first in Oklahoma City), common parking and intense landscaping.
The E.D. Hill team has continued to work with developers and individual property owners to insure a continuity of development as final build out has occurred.

The E. D. Hill team worked with the developers to plan single family homesites surrounding a beautiful lake. The initial phase of lake lots provided the catalyst to attract single family home buyers to this newly developing area of far north Oklahoma City.
The E. D. Hill team utilized the concept of curvilinear streets and long blocks to create a unique residential community. With the streets planned to “flow with” the existing topography of the site, the development had the feel of an established community with the very first section.
