St. Clair Riverview Plaza Redesign Plan

Working for the St. Clair DDA, our team strategized recommendations for the rehabilitation of an Urban Renewal-era downtown-turned-shopping mall along the St. Clair River. I 3D modeled the entire mall, incorporating recommendations from our retail strategist and landscape architect including a more nautical theme, skylights, facade improvements, revamped public square, signage, and streetscape. We provided recommendations for infill development in the parking lots, land use/retail strategy, and future implementation projects. As part of our stakeholder interviews, the recommendation for a reconstructed courtyard struck the fancy of the Community Foundation of St. Clair, who sponsored the redesign and reconstruction, only 3 years after the plan’s adoption.
