The complex’s extensive footprint posed a challenge in meeting the city’s water retention requirements.

Diamond Peak Townhomes – Nampa, ID
The Diamond Peak townhome community is comprised of 16 three-story, 2,165-square-foot units. The site’s dimensions and location required multiple retaining walls and made the design of the sewer system challenging.
Retaining walls had to be designed to be effective, yet narrow enough to allow sufficient distance between the walls and the buildings for adequate yard space. The site’s sewer system, while designed by FOCUS engineers, will be built as part of the neighboring site due to the systems location. This required coordination between FOCUS, Diamond Peak, and the neighboring site to ensure the system was designed and built properly to meet all parties’ requirements.
