While the New Urbanist design of Hampstead may have been
a foreign concept to many when the development was first
introduced, Sahota says that, years later, it has become the new
normal, particularly for the residents who can't imagine living
any other way.
"Today Hampstead is built out so much that we no longer have
to describe the vision or the walkability," said Sahota. "People
just get it when they come here. We've learned that if you work
hard enough, you'll get there in the end because you won't
accept anything else. We adapted and innovated on every aspect
we could: we designed new house plans to offer even more to
the local market, we designed more neighborhood features and
events, we pushed to build the Hampstead Lake-- and have just
opened the largest lake in the City of Montgomery. It's about
thinking in new and unexpected ways and always using good
design to solve problems."
