The constraints
- A ground floor that had to serve both residents and street retail without either reading as an afterthought.
- Phased delivery, with the residential lobby opening before retail was tenanted.
- An entitlement-driven ground-floor height the layout had to work within.
Design interventions
Split the ground floor into a resident arrival sequence and a leasable retail frontage with separate identities.
Protected residential rents from retail turnover and kept the retail bay independently marketable.
Specified a lobby that reads complete with the retail bay still dark.
Let the residential side open and lease on schedule regardless of retail tenanting timeline.
Outcomes
Residential lobby opened ahead of retail tenanting
Frontage delivered independently marketable
Absorption pace vs. submarket — to confirm at stabilization
Figures marked verifyare placeholders. Real projects carry hard numbers where they exist. Where a single number isn't available yet, we stack partial proof, like a leasing-team quote or an outperformed-submarket comparison.
“Placeholder — development or brokerage quote to come.”
