January 25. The groundbreaking ceremonies took place at the site of
the future park, 12400 SW 82 Avenue. Pinecrest acquired the 10-acre
site last April and hired O'Leary Design and Associates and Wolfberg
Alvarez Partners to prepare a master plan, architectural renderings
and construction documents. Last month, the Village Council awarded
the construction contract to MC Construction Group.
