Vida Health Village is a 7-story transit-oriented development at the core of Advent Health’s life science and healthcare innovation district near Downtown Orlando. Many residents work at the medical complex located across the street, and the community’s location on Orange Avenue is a vital addition to Orlando’s up-and-coming Health Village neighborhood.
Residents enjoy ever-increasing dining, entertainment, and recreational options, as well as great jobs in the medical field. With its inspiring contemporary façade and prime location in one of the country’s fastest-growing innovation districts, it is no wonder that Vida Health Village has made an impression on Central Floridians in the short time since completion.
People who live and work in the Health Village have easy access to many great walkable neighborhoods throughout Greater Central Florida via SunRail, Central Florida’s rail transit system, as well as the Lynx bus service and the continuously-expanding Orlando Urban Bike Trail. These features enhance walkability and transportation access, which reduce the pressure of infrastructure costs and create better, healthier, more sustainable communities.
As planners and advocates of resilient, forward-thinking neighborhoods, we are proud that Vida Health Village is one of seven CBA-designed communities that support and utilize the SunRail.

Camden North Quarter is a 9-story mixed use project within walking distance of Orlando’s Central Station SunRail commuter train hub. Before development, the land sat vacant as the owner originally planned to construct an office building. However, as the economy began to grind to a near halt during the Great Recession, plans changed. When the economy recovered, a new downtown Orlando neighborhood emerged: the North Quarter. Camden filled a crucial missing piece in the new district, with a dramatic and unique design. A portion of the ground floor includes 8,000 square feet of retail space, including a corner restaurant with outdoor seating opportunities on the leading edge of the building, as Orange Ave is a one-way street.
One of the most dramatic features of this project is the placement of the swimming pool and clubhouse on the 9th floor. The clubhouse offers large glass walls facing west towards Walt Disney World and opposing walls facing east towards the Florida Atlantic Coast and Cape Kennedy. As we design structures, we always think about how people will interact with the buildings where they live and work, which in turn leads us to placemaking. In the case of Camden North Quarter, this manifests as a small oasis of nature and human interaction within the larger surrounding urban environment. These pockets of relaxation and well-being are instrumental in creating communities where residents want to stay and spend their time.

What do you get when you mix retail, residential, and 11’ of site drop within a TND community? That’s a challenge CBA tackled with Lyric at Norton Commons in Louisville, Kentucky.
As a mixed-use development with 12,000 sf of retail within the Norton Commons TND complex, it was crucial to achieve connection to the street level without the use of steps. Similarly, a 5-level pre-cast parking garage with exits at common levels would need to connect both the residents and retail.
Our solution came in the form of breaking the building up into cleverly designed, hidden splits. This allowed us to respond to changes in grade internally while preserving a unified exte-
rior appearance. The preferable wood structure construction type was maintained, resulting in significant cost savings.
Multiple courtyards provide residents with gathering areas, each with a unique vibe and purpose. The connection walkway between the two larger courtyards crosses an elevation shift, so we used this to create a residential theater with elevated stadium-type seating. Throughout the community, adaptive thinking and structural coordination turned what could have been irregular or unused spaces into positives that could only be achieved with this unique site. Finally, the outstanding ownership group made sure all areas of the project were reviewed in detail and well thought out.

Birmingham Parkside is a 6-story Mixed-Use community built along First Avenue South, adjacent to the award-winning 19-acre green space known as Railroad Park. Just south of downtown Birmingham, the culturally rich neighborhood is a bustling home to recreation, events, and concerts. Parkside fulfills the valuable need for living and retail space with a design that celebrates the industrial and artistic heritage of this great city.
The architecture suggests a blending of historic and modern design sensibilities by incorporating diverse surface textures, with tactile bricks transitioning to sleek vertical forms. The courtyards and club amenities are centrally placed above two
levels of parking, and by doing so, the building massing is broken up to appear unobtrusive and more visually engaging to pedestrians.
In addition to its 228 apartments, Parkside’s activated ground floor hosts 3,000 feet of retail space, home to multiple heavily trafficked businesses. The 5-story residential component is built out of wood construction with an exacting level of quality and attention to detail, offering a high-end architectural solution that fits well into its urban setting.
The Port Orange Riverwalk is an extensive plan currently in development to revitalize the city’s riverwalk region, transforming it into a vibrant mixed-use residential, retail, and public space. Incorporating a strong focus on placemaking, the property is comprised of multifamily residential, retail with flats, an incubator business space, structured and surface parking, and a public riverwalk that connects to existing nature trails. The wide range of typologies will include apartments, townhomes, and flats. Not only will it appeal to a greater demographic diversity, it is also designed to attract resi-
dents throughout different life phases. At the ground level, retail and restaurant destinations will activate the street and public riverwalk. An additional incubator space is set aside to accommodate entrepreneurs who are testing retail concepts, a proven strategy in attracting interesting new concepts that can graduate to longer-term status.
To provide an energetic riverfront experience, a public riverwalk is proposed to run along the entire eastern edge of the property. This provides a vital connection to the river for citizens
of Port Orange and enhances the viability of the retail space that is part of the development. A portion of this is intended to be designated as a festival street, able to be closed to automobile traffic and used for events such as arts festivals, music events, food festivals, and similar activities.
Overall, the proposed project will benefit the city by providing a network of well-connected, multi-use public spaces, enhancing the quality of existing destinations resulting in a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

The Row is an off-campus student housing development located in Gainesville, in close proximity to the University of Florida. The project is an eight-story apartment community consisting of five levels of rentable units, three levels of parking, and two levels of retail.
An amenity center is located on the 4th floor, including an outdoor patio on the south side of the building. An amenity sky lounge resides on the 8th floor, offering sweeping views of the surrounding city and university. The ground floor is home to the leasing center, along with an integrated retail strip. As a modern reinterpretation of student lifestyle created with urban design principles, The Row conveniently and intel-
ligently provides for many of the residents’ needs, promoting a superior quality of life and successfully strengthening the neighborhood.
The Row was developed simultaneously with UFORA Gainesville, a separate CBA-designed eight-story community on the same block. These two student living projects provide much-needed residential space to support the top-ranking University of Florida, facilitating students to pursue lives of enrichment that strike the proper balance of academic, social, and relaxation needs.

UFORA Gainesville is under construction near the University of Florida. The project is a 232 unit (663 bedrooms) eight story apartment community consisting of a retail condo, rentable units, and five levels of parking by a centralized structure. An amenity center is located on the 8th floor, consisting of a pool deck, fitness center with sauna, yoga room, and an outdoor patio on the south side of the building.
A unique aspect of this project is the evolution of our design work, which began pre-COVID-19 and has since adjusted to meet new standards. From the January/February 2021 Student Housing Business (Volume 12, Issue 3):
The interesting things that happened on this project were that we had to change the amenity space during and after COVID,” says Architect Cristian Oquendo. “It got bigger. We used to have 30 square feet per student or per bed. Outdoor spaces have always been important but COVID has pushed us and also pushed our clients to think more about how to add spaces and make them comfortable.”
Oquendo says that most designs today need to feature roomier amenity space, averaging approximately 35 square feet per bed. In addition to enlarging open areas, CBA also had to tweak designs in real time, managing rising lumber prices, which were at an all-time high.

Campus Circle in Urbana, Illinois is a vibrant and contemporary student living experience only minutes from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The modern architectural design utilizes an artful blend of brick, cement siding and exterior panels to create an exciting, inspirational environment.
The design takes advantage of the site’s unique shape: long and triangular, fitting within previously developed structures. Along the primary street edge, a covered entrance experience welcomes residents and guests through a threshold into the community. As an added benefit, the entrance connects to the central courtyard via a direct passage, providing emergency vehicles with easy access to the heart of the property.
At the other end of the site, the 5-story access-controlled parking garage creates a buffer space between units and neighboring buildings. Finally, the angular site plan configuration allowed for a pleasant, sheltered courtyard shape that expands out upon entry.
In addition to 2,000 sf of retail space on the ground floor, Campus Circle features an impressive 13,500+ sf of student amenities. With options including a resort-style pool deck, comprehensive fitness/yoga/dance studios, private study rooms, a rooftop terrace, and much more, residents are empowered to take the next steps into their future in a community that feels like home.

ARCOS was designed to support Sarasota’s ambitious downtown master plan and Rosemary District redevelopment program. Situated in the region’s core, ARCOS is a key piece of the neighborhood’s emphasis on walkability, with a Walk Score of 96 and a rising Bike Score of 72. The design required 3,500 sq.ft. of retail and 8,000 sq.ft. for community amenities, resulting in an expansive, inviting ground floor full of bustling activity and the potential to transform into future retail opportunities as needed.
ARCOS makes a bold architectural statement with its contemporary Dutch West Indies style. Considerable thought went into designing the exciting façade, utilizing chamfered
corners to provide rhythmic breaks and elegant massing. This sectional approach serves another purpose, shortening the block visually to embody a pedestrian-friendly urbanist quality. The site presented the challenge of a 5’ elevation drop from end to end, requiring compensation to provide level entries to access points.
Inside, the design was inspired by classic, beautiful hotels and voluminous train stations; a grand nostalgic experience viewed through modern interpretation. ARCOS is even home to an on-site art gallery on the ground floor that hosts international and local artists, contributing to Sarasota’s vibrant and diverse cultural identity.

Tapestry Park is an urban village concept that combines traditional yet chic apartments and townhomes interlaced with boutique shops, office spaces, retail services, and popular eateries. A key part of this project’s success is its infusion of Tattersall Tapestry Park throughout all aspects of the design.
Tapestry Park occupies 18 acres and has been sculpted into a mixed-use village that blends the lifestyle of Northern Florida with a European influence. The village has 40,000 square feet of retail and restaurants with 16,000 square feet of office space. Finally, a 96-room business traveler boutique hotel sits at the end of Main Street, along the lake. Residents can choose between the 52 townhomes mixed over and around
the retail, or the 274 apartments with views of the lake or courtyards.
Tattersall at Tapestry Park is a 4-story for-rent community within the larger Tapestry Park urban village concept. The 4-story parking garage is fully naturally ventilated, with 20% of the exterior fully exposed with architectural design aesthetics and 80% facing a mix of single- and double-loaded corridors. This beautiful, forward-thinking project was the recipient of the 2014 Grand Aurora Award for Best Mixed-Use Under 100 acres.

Talison Row on Daniel Island in Charleston, South Carolina presented several unique circumstances that created an exciting and rewarding design process.
The site is located within the 100-year flood plain adjacent to the historical city and tidal rivers, so we designed Talison Row as a podium structure. This allowed us to shelter vehicles within the flood plain, while simultaneously raising the buildings and mechanical equipment.
The podium typology enabled us to meet our density goals and provided interstitial spaces that became wonderful pocket parks, courtyards, and community gardens.
Geologically, Charleston is a seismically active region that requires specific design countermeasures. Talison Row utilizes stone columns and earthquake drains, which dissipate pore pressure during seismic events.
Finally, the City of Charleston maintains development guidelines, along with an architectural appearance board that reviews new designs. In order to ensure Talison Row would complement its neighbors, we worked diligently to create a Low Country-style community that met the city’s exacting standards. The result is an architectural expression that feels like a village, with units that take advantage of spectacular views of the tidal Cooper River and Downtown Charleston.
