Planning and Development Strategy

This large-scale mixed-use community regeneration project is strategically planned to unfold in multiple phases, ensuring a balanced and seamless integration of residential, commercial, and public spaces. The development is divided into four phases of residential units, each thoughtfully incorporated with retail Commercial Retail Units (CRUs) to create a vibrant, walkable environment where residents have convenient access to services and amenities. In addition to the residential phases, there are three separate phases of retail buildings, strategically positioned to support the community’s commercial needs and activate key areas of the site. These retail spaces are designed to enhance the urban experience, providing a diverse range of services and creating a lively streetscape.

Planning and Development Strategy

The phased approach allows for a carefully coordinated build-out, ensuring that each stage of the project is integrated with the surrounding environment, while providing the flexibility to adapt to evolving community needs. This thoughtful planning process ensures that both residential and commercial components complement one another, fostering a cohesive and sustainable mixed-use community.

Code Plans and Sections – Ensuring Safety and Compliance for Mixed-Use Regeneration Project

The code plans and sections for this large-scale mixed-use community regeneration project were developed with a focus on safety, accessibility, and code compliance across both residential and commercial components. Detailed planning and rigorous reviews were essential in ensuring the project adhered to all necessary fire separation, egress routes, and building code requirements.

Code Plans and Sections – Ensuring Safety and Compliance for Mixed-Use Regeneration Project

The collaborative approach between the design team and the code consultant ensured that the project met all fire safety, accessibility, and structural requirements. By maintaining a strong focus on code compliance and safety throughout the design and construction process, the development will provide a secure, accessible, and code-compliant environment for future residents, tenants, and visitors.

Building B & C Typical Floor Plan

Buildings B and C of this mixed-use development were exclusively designed for residential living, offering a comfortable and community-oriented environment. Both buildings were strategically planned to create a sense of connection and interaction among residents, with a central shared space that serves as the heart of the development.

Phase 2 - Construction

During construction, several challenges arose, including evolving code interpretations and unforeseen site conditions, which required prompt consultation and adjustments. The code consultant worked closely with the team to resolve these challenges, providing crucial guidance on issues such as fire-rated assemblies, egress routes, and fire safety measures. Their expertise helped mitigate potential delays and ensured that the project continued to meet the highest standards of safety and compliance.

Phase 2 - Construction

As of now, two phases of the project have been successfully completed, with phases 3 and 4 currently underway. Although the project is behind schedule and has gone above budget due to unforeseen challenges, including material cost increases and design changes, my ongoing involvement has ensured the project stays aligned with its key goals and continues progressing toward completion while maintaining safety and compliance standards.
