Experiential programming and design for town center at CBMR.
Master plan and placemaking for retail-entertainment town center at Crested Butte Mountain Resort.
The ownership group of Crested Butte Mountain Resort planned the development of a town center place at the heart of its resort high in the Colorado Rockies. The town center was viewed as a competitive response to the increasingly competitive Colorado ski industry, which was in the midst of “amenity creep.”
Worked in collaboration with Owner, and the project architect, in examining various “Big Ideas” that would compel the place making at the town center. Guest programming was prepared, including a slate of event programming to provide signature times of year for the resort.
A major effort was made to identify and program for interstitial areas at the town center, to assure activity throughout the operating day and week. Given the relatively modest size of the market area outside of peak visitation seasons, providing for resident use of facilities, in this way, is always of great importance.
A regional shopping center was planned for the metro area of Spokane, Washington, by a major West Coast investment property builder. A market study of the Greater Spokane area was prepared, to determine the level of market support that could be expected for a major regional shopping center at a site under study by the client. Consumer expenditures for various categories of retail merchandise was analyzed and compared to the retail space inventory within the project’s primary and secondary market / trades areas.
A tenant presence grid was also prepared to determine the level of market penetration of top U.S retailers, particularly in apparel categories.
