Our concept was simple: split the building open to reveal outdoor circulation, provide better walking connec- tions, and a more usable park- ing field. Some of the anchors may shift to smaller footprints to maintain viability, and make room for more diversity on site. The addition of 450 multi-family apartments to the outer circula- tion ring will allow for on-site patrons and increased revenue for the developer. Sometimes all a site may need is the introduction of new uses around the perimeter or the replacement of one or more failed anchors with these uses. If created properly, zones of varying uses can create a new vitality by introducing captive patrons in the form of full time apartment dwellers or office goers and professional service providers and their clients, along with new dining options for these users. The addition of high density multi-family resi- dential is often a key component to the re-invigoration of a site. The Martin Architectural Group enjoys the opportunity and challenge of taking a failed or underperforming site and transforming it into a new, vibrant and functioning part of the societal fabric of a com- munity. Each project is unique, garnering its own vocabulary and style, and requiring a dedi- cated eye for realizing its true potential.
