Transforming Land for Growth: Prairie Flats Addition
In 2022, Comstock Construction, in partnership with Lowry Engineering, led the civil construction for Prairie Flats Addition, a 25-lot residential development in Wahpeton, ND. This project transformed former agricultural land into a modern, livable community, expanding housing opportunities in the region.
Comprehensive Site Development
As the prime contractor, Comstock Construction oversaw the full scope of site preparation and infrastructure work, including:
- Utility installation – Sanitary sewer and water main systems.
- Roadway and ditch grading – Ensuring proper drainage and site preparation.
- Concrete curb and sidewalk installation – Enhancing pedestrian accessibility.
- Asphalt paving – A 25-foot-wide roadway with 2-foot-deep ditches for effective water management.
- Drain tile installation – Placed beneath ditches and routed to an outlet ditch via a storm lift station pump.
Blending Urban & Rural Infrastructure
The development combines elements of both urban and rural planning—offering large lots (1-2 acres each)— with the convenience of modern infrastructure, making it ideal for homeowners looking for space while staying connected to city services.
A Collaborative Effort
Designed by Lowry Engineering, they conducted surveying, platting, civil design, and construction inspection to ensure long-term sustainability. Comstock Construction then executed on the design by self-performed work as well as managing multiple subcontractors, ensuring efficient project delivery and high-quality results.
With experience in residential site development, municipal infrastructure, and civil construction, Comstock Construction continues to play a vital role in shaping communities like Wahpeton, providing sustainable, well-planned developments that support future growth.
