Magnolia Landing is a ground-up multifamily development in Foley, Alabama, designed with both resident experience and long-term return on investment in mind. Working with a developer-owner client, Greenleaf focused on creating a project that could stand apart from a typical apartment complex while remaining efficient to construct, market, and operate.
Rather than repeating a single building type across the property, Greenleaf developed three distinct residential building types that share a consistent architectural language. Changes in massing, roof forms, and detailing create visual variety throughout the development, while a coordinated material palette ties the buildings together as one cohesive community.
Site planning was equally important to the overall design. Building placement, circulation, and outdoor amenity areas were organized to create a more connected campus experience and give residents a stronger sense of place as they move through the development.
Construction timing and marketability were considered throughout the design process. Greenleaf worked with the owner to balance architectural character with the practical requirements of a developer-driven project, keeping long-term value and leasing potential at the center of design decisions.
Greenleaf also supported the project beyond architectural design by developing leasing marketing materials and website content for the owner, helping communicate the character of Magnolia Landing to prospective residents as the development entered the market.
The completed project combines variation, consistency, site planning, and market awareness to create a multifamily community designed around both the resident experience and the owner's long-term investment.

Seven Oak Square is a 4.8-acre master-planned commercial development in Mandeville designed to bring a variety of businesses together within one coordinated, pedestrian-friendly environment. The plan organizes seven buildings around shared circulation and gathering spaces so visitors can move conveniently between businesses without returning to their cars between stops.
Greenleaf developed the overall master plan and site organization to balance visibility, access, parking, pedestrian circulation, and long-term marketability. Rather than designing the development around a single tenant type, the buildings were planned with enough flexibility to accommodate a variety of commercial uses as opportunities arise, allowing the property to evolve over time without losing the overall character established by the master plan.
Greenleaf's involvement has continued beyond the master plan through architectural and interior design services for the two buildings constructed to date, The Woodhouse Day Spa and Paradigm Health System. Each tenant was designed around its own operational and customer needs while remaining part of the larger architectural language and site strategy established for Seven Oak Square.
The flexibility of the master plan has also allowed existing tenants to consider future growth within the development. As Paradigm Health System's services expanded, Greenleaf developed concepts for an additional surgery center and two medical office buildings within Seven Oak Square. Three-dimensional studies and renderings were used to evaluate building placement, scale, patient arrival, circulation, and overall campus organization. Those future phases remain planned for construction when the timing is right for the client.
Seven Oak Square continues to develop incrementally, with each completed building contributing to a larger commercial environment planned from the beginning for convenience, adaptability, and long-term growth.
