MIXEDUSE
CONNECTING PEOPLE ENRICHING COMMUNITIES
Little’s mixed-use projects create bustling destinations that improve the way people live, work, dine and shop. Through smart, thoughtful design we skillfully create buildings, streets, plazas and green space that connect people and enrich communities. We accomplish this by drawing from our unique, broad range of disciplines and expertise and having a solid understanding of the right balance of commercial, workplace, civic and healthcare uses.
Our holistic approach starts with tapping into our brand experience expertise, enabling us to work with you to craft a unique and unparalleled vision for your project. Evaluated from the perspective of multiple users, a customer experience journey is created for all facets of the project, be they retail, housing, office, entertainment or hospitality. This vision drives the development of the design to ensure your goals, the project’s marketability and its relevance in the community remain top of mind.
A UNIQUE AND UNPARALLELED VISION
Throughout the design process, we maintain a keen focus on the hard numbers. We have proven experience with pro forma analysis/development and will partner with you to assure all bases are covered while actively maintaining the budget parameters that will drive your project’s success and maximize your construction dollar.
AUTHENTIC, MEMORABLE PLACES
From crafting an experience to executing a design that embodies your brand and brings your vision to life, Little delivers unique solutions that add vitality to your community through the creation of authentic, memorable places.
