Waterfronts

We apply our experience as owners and developers of mixed-use waterfronts to prepare master plans that maximize the potential value of a site, while addressing community, financial, and regulatory concerns to efficiently achieve entitlement of visionary waterfronts.

As lifelong boaters and marina owners, we apply our real-world experience to design the upland elements of a marina to maximize efficiency in staffing to reduce costs, while creating the most flexible and desirable amenities that boaters demand.

Our landscape architects understand the value and special opportunities of waterfront park space and design individual parks through comprehensive park system master plans for communities large and small, from resort communities to downtown Chicago.

We facilitate effective design and planning processes tailored to the unique demands of yacht clubs, with an emphasis on consensus building among disparate interests and developing phased implementation strategies that consider financial reality.

We support municipal marina operators by providing impartial expertise in setting market rates for slip fees, obtaining grant funding, and preparing planning, renovation, and financing strategies to help them become financially self-sufficient.
