Urban planning for Dover projects

Property owners across Dover work with Hunt Construction when they need urban planning that is planned and delivered properly. Site and district plans that balance growth, access and sustainability.

Dover has about 1,998 housing units: 96% are single-family detached houses and 2% are in buildings with two or more units. In a predominantly single-family town, new development is typically measured against the scale and character of existing neighborhoods.

We serve ZIP code 02030 and every community within 25 km of Dover. Dover is about 7 miles from our Framingham dispatch hub, well inside the 60-mile radius our superintendents and equipment cover. Nearby towns where we also provide urban planning include Needham, Wellesley and Medfield.

Building in Dover: What's Local

What the public record says about building in Dover — and what it means for urban planning.

Good to know about urban planning

  • The Smart Growth Network's ten principles, listed by EPA, include mixing land uses, compact building design, a range of housing choices, walkable neighborhoods and a variety of transportation choices.

  • EPA explains that transit-oriented development combines compact development within easy walking distance of a transit station with a mix of land uses, making it more convenient to walk, bicycle or take transit.

  • EPA notes that large surface parking lots and standalone garages can discourage walking and can make driving the only viable way to travel between destinations.

About the service

How we deliver urban planning

Planning communities that work for decades

Successful development starts long before ground is broken. Our planning team studies the site, the zoning and the surrounding community to shape a plan that is approvable, buildable and built to last.

“Good planning is invisible — it simply makes everything else easier.”

We coordinate roads, utilities, open space and building placement into a phased master plan, so each stage of construction supports the next.

Why HUNT for urban planning?

Because we also build what we plan, our phasing and logistics strategies are grounded in real construction sequencing — not theory.
