W aterfront Development Thesis
78
Site: Vantage Point,Port Huron
Design Concept:
Objective: This is a yearlong study researching, analyzing, and designing the concept of how the riverfront can become an anchor for a city’s economic development from an otherwise unused and abandoned area. The study observes underutilized waterfront properties along the Eastern Michigan lakes system of the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, and St. Clair River; locations that are in the transition out of their past roles of industrial infrastructure. The thesis will focus in on the specific property of Desmond Landing in Port Huron and take into consideration community issues identified by the Port Huron City Council and those specific to the surrounding site area. This will determine a comprehensive solution and plan that provides the Desmond Landing riverfront a role as the catalyst to impact and benefit the community of Port Huron spurring growth and future development for the betterment of the city.
The project for Desmond Landing will celebrate the St. Clair River with a catalyst to generate the area by addressing the education, residential, athletic, and tourism issues taking place in Port Huron. The project will look toward garnering from the local impact of the surrounding downtown, and secondarily from the Blue Water Bridge’s impact with the commuters and out of towners nearby Port Huron. Multiple studies of analyzing the city data of Port Huron were taken in order to see possible solutions to appropriate uses on the site as a whole. The main anchors will consist of a market and maritime museum expansion with recreational auditorium, athletic facility, and a retail spine of shopping and offices. This is supported by a second tier of usages being an affordable residential plan, manufacturing trade school, and port terminal with marina access. 79

Further along the river walk is the all seasons farmers market structure with a transitory marina and boat launch. Moving inward from the point are structures of high rise and urban density apartments. The trade school is located in a complete self contained area and administers to the college catered dormitories. Moving inward from the farmers market buildings is a region of single family and multi family condo units. On the far left is the hockey facility with its own attached parking structure and the complex overlooks the Blue 81 Water recreational wetland.
