Peak of Innovation, Activity, and Exchange
2017 ULI Hines Student Competition Entry The City of Chicago is selling its Fleet Management site to revamp the Clybourn Industrial Corridor, a “hot spot” for urban development located between two thriving districts, Lincoln Park to the east and Wicker Park to the west.Our development team believes that the Clybourn Industrial Corridor could become a vibrant innovation hub, furthering the development vision of Goose Island and the Finkl Steel site. Our vision goes beyond the stereotype of an innovation hub being solely for the tech industry. We believe the innovative attitude should be applied to all aspects of both the physical neighborhood and the E-neighborhood, allowing us to live, work, play, and connect. The team is proposing to develop the neighborhood as an experience and exchange platform for visitors, business entrepreneurs, residents, potential investor, innovators, and recreation enthusiasts. Pinnacle, the name, was then chosen to represent the ambitious vision to be the peak of innovation, activity, and exchange. “Welcome to the Pinnacle – Chicago’s newest peak of innovation, activity and exchange. At the Pinnacle, you can truly live, work and play in an exciting district of homes, offices, markets and sports. Ideas come to fruition in our co-working spaces, and are brought to market in our Technology Experience Hall. Food for thought is provided in our Pinnacle Market, and can be consumed along the regreened riverfront, one of our many exciting urban plazas or under our covered market street. Relaxation is provided at the riverfront, in our parks, or in our unique 1200-foot Pinnacle Slope. At the end of your exciting day, you can lay your head in one of our various homes, including apartments, condominiums and townhouses.”

VUE AT THE BANKS Cincinnati Riverfront Development 2016 Cincinnati ULI Student Competition Entry Vue at The Banks is a two phase mixed use project that will complement the final phases of The Banks riverfront development. The first phase of the planned unit development (PUD) will bring an abundance of high end mixed use facilities to the Downtown Cincinnati market. The goal of Vue at The Banks is to create a mixed-use development that will meet the market demands in regards to retail, office, recreation, hospitality and market-rate housing. We believe that our proposed development will be the best use for the identified parcels, and will create an environment that is consistent with current and future developments within the downtown area. Our design and proposed development will create a thriving neighborhood district that is diverse, walkable, as well as well-designed and engaging. Phase one of Vue at The Banks will create a variety of jobs in the service industry, as well as high end housing that offers a variety of competitive advantages aside from being located in a mixed use district. Phase two of the development will generate an abundance of jobs with over half of a million square feet of retail and commercial spaces, as well as office towers that will house a local Fortune 500 companies. Vue at The Banks recognizes the importance and visibility of this site, as the final piece in the rebirth of Cincinnati’s Downtown Riverfront. The design establishes a bold vision for the next-generations Gateway into the Queen City.

2014 Cincinnati ULI Student Competition Winning Entry Situated at a gateway to the downtown of Cincinnati and surrounding areas, the neighborhood of Walnut Hills possess great potential with quick access to most parts of the city and major roadways. The neighborhood has an interesting mix of inhabitants with Eden Park to its south and stretching north up into greatly differing typologies. The neighborhood itself has seen a great deal of shifting change through its’ years starting out as a farm owned by one man in 1804. The area slowly became a lively city suburb with street-cars and well off inhabitants. Following this time the community came to be a struggling neighborhood and was cutoff by the expansion of I-71. In recent years the community has seen some effort and potential for revitalization. The gentrification of surrounding neighborhoods in the city has sparked interest for parallel efforts to be carried out in Walnut Hills. Furthermore, many previous inhabitants of gentrified neighborhoods are left priced out and no longer able to afford the area in which they have lived. The firehouse row development is comprised of three blocks situated on both sides of McMillan Street nearly in the center of the Walnut Hills neighborhood and right across I-71 from the University of Cincinnati. Each lot is primarily vacant and surrounded by neighborhood residences. The design for a mixed use development on the site was comprised of a variety of methodologies intended to create a relationship with the surrounding public and implement a notion of connectivity not only within the building but also spanning across the different blocks. At a time of heightened interest for the neighborhood and the possibility of increasing densities, an approach of flexible spaces that cater to the present day inhabitants, and what shifting demographics may follow, was implemented in order to mitigate wasted and vacant spaces. The increasing interest in urban renewal and the quick access to surrounding areas helps strengthen the future outlook of what Walnut Hills could be and the things it has to offer to a variety of demographics

2016 Cincinnati Brighten Neighborhood Improvement Container Housing – Brighton Creative Commons We look at container house for the below reasons: 1. Faster, cheaper than conventional housing fix- up & replaceable: containers can reduce construction time by up to 40%, and containers can fit out modularly and are easily expandable; 2. Local, national, international recognition: development catalyst to brand the community as a unique art zone; 3. Sustainability & fenestration: containers are green – with the lowest energy utilization on the market; At the same time, we do realize the challenge of the needs variance from the existing building code.
