Accompanying new, ground-up or blank-slate projects, SITE solutions has taken on a recent roster of retrofits, working with properties that have the framework and skeleton (“good bones”) but have become outdated in their use and value. By working with existing buildings, you’re saving on construction costs while renewing purpose and profit. On projects like Newport on the Levee or the Birkdale Village Redevelopment, SITE solutions is "looking for opportunities to position new points of sale and developing a community space that wasn’t there before.” While in some cases the solution is adding open areas and "programming the middle," in other settings, it might be adding pavilions to jewel box buildings, the activity and patronage of which “changes the scale from the taller buildings on the edges,” redefining the tone of the space and how it's used by the community. Simple solutions for successful sites.
