VISION
DESIGN
CBA Architects is here to bridge the gap between the opportunities you see and the hopes you want to achieve. We take all of our knowledge and bandwidth to help you identify precise challenges and develop creative, buildable solutions. CBA Architects is dedicated to impacting lives together. What we do together matters; it’s up to us to make deterministic improvements to the built environment. PreDesign frames the challenge, localizes the story, charges the program, and sets the backdrop of the vision.
TIMELINE
03
EXECUTION
The window of opportunity is brief. Realistic coordination needs to happen as smoothly as possible. During Schematic Design the vision is impacted by all consultants. The project’s Design Assumptions, Site Plan, Building Plans, Massing, Materials, Unit Plans, and FFE are established, and the Operational story is reinforced. By the end of Design Development CBA and our consultants have rightsized, coordinated, and modeled every system and discipline. These include Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Protection, Interior Design, Landscape, and more.
In full coordination with the build team, all systems are technically designed and presented at the Construction Documentation Phase. Without interruption, CBA’s Permitting and Construction Administration support the project through to completion with submittals and shop drawing reviews, RFI support, monthly site visits, and resolution support with contractors. Phasing will be thoughtful, absorption will be predictable, and leasing will be set for success. The community will have come to life.

ADDRESS THE MISSING
MIDDLE
AN EVOLVING MARKET REQUIRES INNOVATIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS The multifamily housing development industry is facing big challenges: longer construction durations and fluctuating financial environments, the luxury arms race, and the Missing Middle.
14 WEEKS FROM SD TO PERMIT SET
The housing challenge demands attention to four key points: duration, efficiency, cost, and time. Rising property prices and construction expenses make housing increasingly unaffordable, while delays and bureaucratic obstacles worsen the housing shortage.
UP TO 20 DU/A DENSITY
Project complexity is an ongoing theme in delays at every stage of the development process, and with longer timelines, projects face interest rate risk, insurance risk, supply-chain disruption, and labor uncertainties. At CBA Architects, we systematically address these challenges with intelligent design programs that hit the sweet spot: quicker to design, quicker to build, cost effective, and highly efficient. With our Missing Middle Solution, you can develop projects with the confidence that they will be marketable, constructable, and successful.
