Surf Park Central Interviews
Kimley-Horn Experts on Atlantic Park
A hub for news, networking, events, and industry development within the surf-anchored real estate space, Surf Park Central interviewed David Dallman, PE, and Chris Falce, PE, LEED AP, about Kimley-Horn’s work on Atlantic Park. Our team performed comprehensive site design for the expansive mixed-use development in Virginia Beach, which features a state-of-the-art surf park at its center and is located just a short distance from the Atlantic Ocean.
David and Chris walked Surf Park Central through our multidisciplinary solutions for the project—from helping reshape regulations and permitting to considering traffic congestion, stormwater management, and ocean proximity in the design. The two engineering leaders also discussed how both surf parks and other aquatics ventures have launched new teams within Kimley-Horn that are dedicated to serving clients as they navigate these complex, integrated projects.
"I often tell clients: 'We can play all nine positions on the baseball field, or just one, whatever you need.' That flexibility and depth are what allow us to meet developers where they are and help bring their vision to life."
