CA: Bay-Friendly Landscapes Case Studies - Doyle Hollis ParkSotirakou964
Doyle Hollis Park in Emeryville, California was designed and constructed using Bay-Friendly landscaping practices to be environmentally sustainable and benefit the local community. The 1.5 acre park was built on a former industrial site for $1.2 million. It features rain gardens, drought-tolerant native plants, recycled materials, and structural soil to support large street trees. The park has been embraced by the local community and provides environmental benefits like stormwater management and wildlife habitat.
The South Side Works brownfield redevelopment project transformed a 123-acre former steel mill site in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The mill operated from 1893 until closing in 1986 due to foreign competition and lack of modernization. After the site was abandoned and demolished in the early 1990s, the Urban Redevelopment Authority purchased the property in 1993 and led a redevelopment effort that addressed environmental contamination and infrastructure improvements. The $265 million project redeveloped the site into a mixed-use development with retail, dining, entertainment, offices, and sports facilities, helping to revitalize the surrounding area and raise property values.
The document describes three historic building renovation projects:
1) A 1902 commercial building in St. Louis that was renovated into a restaurant with nightclubs and banquet space while preserving historic characteristics.
2) A traditional two-story house that was opened up and modernized with decorative columns, hardwood flooring, and an updated fireplace.
3) A small 1940s house that had a second story added while disguising the addition to not look like a simple upward extension from below. The addition had deep overhangs to provide horizontality.
Riley Area Development Co. and Monument Realty plan to construct a four-story mixed-use building called Trail Side at 875 Mass Ave, currently the site of an underused one-story building.

This document provides a summary of selected projects by Scott James Douglass, an architectural and urban designer. It includes brief descriptions of 3 projects: the Miami Beach Dance Academy in Miami, Florida, which involved renovating a parking lot into a dance school building; the Manila YMCA Campus in Manila, Philippines, designed in the Spanish Renaissance style; and the Stafford Lands urban design in Tiverton, Rhode Island, which involved dividing a large former quarry site into several villages surrounded by agricultural and natural lands.
Fallingwater, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is a private home built over a waterfall in western Pennsylvania in 1937. It is considered one of Wright's greatest works and is renowned for its integration with the natural surroundings. The home was commissioned by Edgar Kaufmann and built using local stone and reinforced concrete cantilevers projecting from the rock face. Over 150,000 visitors tour the home each year, which has required extensive restoration work to address leaks and structural issues due to its location directly over running water.
William Allin Storrer describes Falling water as "the best-known private home for someone not of royal blood in the history of the world."
Perched over a waterfall on Bear Run in the western Pennsylvania highlands, the rural retreat constructed for Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., has also been called the fullest realization of Wright's lifelong ideal of a living place completely at one with nature. Reinforced-concrete cantilever slabs project from the rocks to carry the house over the stream. From the living room, a suspended stairway leads directly down to the stream. On the third level immediately above, terraces open from sleeping quarters, emphasizing the horizontal nature of the structural forms.

Graduate students at Kent State University's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative researched case studies on adaptive reuse of industrial buildings. The document includes an edited version of each case study presentation created by the students. The 12 projects are located in cities from around the world and include a range of new uses. The case studies served as inspiration for the students' Spring 2016 Urban Design Studio focused on redevelopment proposals for Cleveland's Lake Shore Power Plant. For more information on Kent State University's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative, please visit: www.cudc.kent.edu
The document summarizes the opening of Tice's Corner, a $25 million specialty retail center in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey. It describes the center's tenants, design by The Montoro Architectural Group, and developer Starwood Heller LLC. The center replaces a century-old farm and has 25 stores and a restaurant across 120,000 square feet. It aims to attract local affluent customers with its upscale brands and convenience.
Mixed use that has transformed a city: MorrisonVirtual ULI
Morrison is a mixed-use development in Charlotte, NC that transformed 26 acres over 10 years. It includes 119 condominiums, 214 apartments, 140,000 square feet of retail including anchors Earthfare and Barnes & Noble, as well as open spaces, trails, and land donated to preserve an historic African American cemetery. Future phases will add luxury homes, a hotel, and specialty healthcare services to create a walkable, sustainable urban community.
The document provides updates on construction progress for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT Leaside and Laird stations. At Leaside Station, work is underway on the station box, main entrance, and secondary entrance and will continue into fall 2022. Road restoration and traffic configuration changes are also outlined. For Laird Station, work on the main entrance, secondary entrance, and station box is ongoing and expected to continue through fall 2022. Upcoming traffic configurations at both stations are presented along with construction progress photos. Ongoing works east of Laird are also listed.
Ten innovative residential developments around the world are summarized that respond to the challenges and opportunities of waterfront living. Developments in Florida, Texas, the Netherlands, Sweden, England, Slovenia, and elsewhere incorporate disaster-resistant and sustainable design strategies appropriate to their coastal or riverside environments. This includes designs for amphibious and modular homes, as well as communities oriented around passive solar principles, renewable energy, and flood protection. The developments provide affordable housing while preserving environmental and scenic amenities.
The document describes proposed plans for a 100-acre village center in Creekside Park Village. The center would include an H-E-B grocery store and drug store as anchors. It would also feature retail, medical offices, professional offices, recreational space, and an institutional use like a fire station. The focal point is a large village green park area with walking paths, trees, plantings, and a restaurant. The center aims to serve daily shopping needs for residents and surrounding areas.

OVERVIEW
Close to the Golden Triangle, downtown Pittsburgh, the city’s regional amenities, employment centers, and universities, Eighth Avenue
has experienced Homestead’s rise and fall. Soon after the introduction of the Homestead Mill in 1880, Homestead was a busy
commercial center. For the 100 years that the mill had been active Eighth Avenue alternated between retail, entertainment, and
residential use. By 1980, the mill closed and the area was desolate. Homestead entered Act 47, but the successful redevelopment of
the Homestead Mill into a shopping mall, The Waterfront, in 1999 pulled Homestead out of municipal bankruptcy. The mall spans the
three boroughs of Homestead, West Homestead, and Munhall and is about five minutes driving distance away from the following Eighth
Avenue case study properties. Contrary to the expectations of residents, the Waterfront’s prosperity was isolated within their development.
Many residents of the three boroughs realized the disparity between The Waterfront and the nearby Avenues and utilized the assets
of the community, in particular, its history. In the 1990’s a group of local citizens was able to place the buildings of Homestead’s Main
Street into National Register of Historic Places. Also, seven local businesses and property owners on East Eighth Avenue formed the
Down Street Development Consortium to spearhead a revitalization project for the Homestead area.
Some current plans to draw attention beyond The Waterfront include the Seventh Avenue Initiative and “Homestead Happens.” The
former is a proposal to repair and renovate the Seventh
Avenue-side rears of East Eighth Avenue’s buildings
- eyesores visible from The Waterfront. It is funded
by the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County.
“Homestead Happens” is a mini-festival that includes a
sidewalk sale and bike night.
The consortium secured $380,000 for the construction
of 14 loft-style apartments on East Eighth Avenue above
the storefronts. The following property owners have
been part of this initiative by successfully retaining and
rehabilitating these buildings on East Eighth Avenue.

2007 The development of the Haglund
property is completed in August.
HISTORY
Before this site’s redevelopment, 212 East Eighth Avenue was home to a movie rental store. On
November 3, 2004 – the same day that Karl and Walt Haglund buy the property – they also start
renovations. Two years after, the site is ready to house offices and apartments. The Haglunds
completed development in August 2007.
SITE ASSEMBLY AND CONTROL
This property was owned by Scott W. Reisch in 1991, Kitty Lesko in
2000, and finally Karl and Walt Haglund in 2004. The Haglunds were
able to salvage and renovate the one building on the development.
There was no need for zoning changes due to the nature of pre- and
post-development site use. There were also no covenants restricting
land use and no tax liens on the property.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
There was no need to perform environmental assessments, and
the owners reported no contamination found on the site prior to
development.

3. PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Prior to redevelopment, water, power grid, sewage, cable/DSL, phone,
and cellular lines were existing and adequate.
COSTS & ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE
All of the financing for physical infrastructure came from private funds.
Financing for the development itself was made possible from a combination
of public and private funds. Of that, public funds made up about 40% of
Interior the total funding. These public funds came from development grants and
Photo courtesy of Karl Haglund loans from state and local sources.
Specifically, Walter Haglund received $54,286 from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency low-interest
loan program for two new apartments in his building at 211 E. 8th Ave.
CURRENT STATUS AND LESSONS LEARNED
Because Eighth Avenue is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places, much care had to be taken to preserve the
history of the area.
This site is completely redeveloped, and the development was
able to create four jobs.

HISTORY
The area containing this site was undeveloped until 1871 when Andrew
and Ann Harper bought the lot. The Harpers built a two-story house,
listed now as 215 East Eighth Avenue. When this property changed
hands to John and Malissa Irwin in 1885, it was subdivided into three
lots and sold to his three daughters. Eleven years later in 1896, John
Irwin designed a three-story building for the property now known as
213 East Eighth Avenue. By 1912, a third story was added to the
215 East Eighth Avenue property, as well. In 1924, F.W. Woolworth
stepped in and occupied the first floors of 213-215 East Eighth Avenue.
Woolworth’s Five-and-Dime Store was the major tenant there for nearly
40 years, with a billiard parlor in the rear and office & residential space
on the top floors. In the 1960’s, Woolworth’s Five-and-Dime Store
closed and was replaced by Gil’s Discount Store. It did not last long,
and by the late 1970’s the first floor was rented out to a Pennsylvania
State Liquor Store. A fire in 1988 destroys the upper floors of the
property and leaves those floors vacated. In 1990, the last tenant, Rite
Discount Stores, rented the first floor. They moved out in 1995.
Four years later, Judith Tener and David Lewis purchased the
property. Since then, they have received grants and loans to assist in
the redevelopment of the site into “Five and Ten Lofts,” aptly named in Front Elevation of Five and Ten Loft building
recognition of the site’s history. Picture courtesy of www.myspace.com/fiveandtenlofts
5. SITE ASSEMBLY AND CONTROL
Since 1924, these two buildings were primarily commercial with residential spaces on their second and third floors. Ownership of
the commercial space has changed hands from F.W. Woolworth (1924-1960’s), the Grand Billiard Hall (1929-?), the Family Loan
Company (1945-?), Gil’s Discount Store (1960’s-1978), the Pennsylvania State Liquor Store (1978-1990), and Rite Discount
Stores (1990-1995). The residential space on the top floors included Floyd and Grace Osborne (1929-1951), O.W. Colgan
(1929-?), Irene Knepshield (1929-?), James Gould (1929-?), Edna I. Neen (1929-?), Patrick O’Hare (1945-?), William J.C. Lamb
(1945-?), Helen H. Winner (1973-1978), and John and Patricia Gentilcore (1978-1998).
After it became vacant when Rite Discount Stores moved out in 1995, Judith Tener and David Lewis purchased the property.
There were no covenants that restricted
development; however, there were many tax liens
imposed on the property. All are paid now.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
There was no need to perform environmental
assessments, and the owners reported no contamination
found on the site prior to development.
PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
No additional parking structures were needed on
the site. Tenants are allowed permit parking in a
municipal lot across the property, and metered
parking is available.
Before this site was redeveloped, cable/DSL was
nonexistent and the water, power grid, and phone Photos courtesy of www.myspace.com/fiveandtenlofts
lines were existent but inadequate. All public utilities were made adequate by the developer, and each unit is cable and internet ready.
Frequent buses allow easy access to Oakland and Downtown Pittsburgh, while stores, theatres, and bars are within walking distance.
COSTS & ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE
Funding for the development was made possible by a mix of public and private sources. According to the Steel Valley Enterprise
Zone, millions of private dollars are being invested in properties, including Lewis-Tener and Ranii. Also, the Mon Valley Initiative
and the Homestead-area Economic Revitalization Corp. provided $103,142 towards the development of Five and Ten Lofts. The
Initiative provided $162,856 to renovate six apartments in two buildings at 216-218 East Eighth Ave. David Lewis also received
a grant from the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) to restore the Eighth Avenue Façade of his buildings. In
addition, Three Rivers Wet Weather, a non-profit venture involved with improving water quality, gave a grant towards adding a
green roof to this property.
CURRENT STATUS AND LESSONS LEARNED
Because of the fire in 1988, Tener and Lewis internally reconstructed both buildings. A PHLF grant allowed them to restore the
building’s façade. They also repaired the roof and replaced missing and fire-damaged windows.
By 2007, structural stabilization, the framing of apartments, and green roof installation were completed. Although the roof costs
about 25% more than a normal one, it will save on utility costs for the residents by helping insulate and improve the water quality
of runoff.
In June 2008, the Five and Ten Lofts became ready for occupancy. Since then, all units have been occupied except for one.

CONTAMINANTS: None in October.
TOTAL ACTUAL COST: Unknown 2008 The development for the Ranii property is

HISTORY
This site was once home to a curiosity shop in the first floor and a cheap boarding house above. The curiosity
shop and boarding house ceased operations when 225 E. 8th Street Associates purchased the property in 2003.
The two buildings on the site were inactive for four years until the owners renovated them to include loft and
commercial space in October 2007.
SITE ASSEMBLY AND CONTROL
When the buildings housed a curiosity shop and flop house, Ann Stewart was the
owner. In October 2003, 225 E. 8th Street Associates, LP purchased the property. The
two buildings that existed on the site before development were able to be salvaged.
The whole 8,800-square-foot building on 225 East Eighth Ave. was used, while only
3,300 square feet of the 4,100-square-foot building on 227 East Eighth Ave. were
salvaged.
There were no covenants in the buildings’ deeds that restricted land use, and the site’s
current zoning is consistent with its past zoning.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
There was no need to perform environmental assessments, and the owners reported
no contamination found on the site prior to development.

A lot of the financing for the development of this site
came from private funds. According to the Steel Valley
225 Interior Enterprise Zone, millions of private dollars are being

invested in properties that include this one.
Public funds, geared towards physical infrastructure and development, has been available in the form
of local grants and loans, state loans, and federal and state tax incentives.
CURRENT STATUS AND LESSONS LEARNED
The site is still in the construction phase and is
scheduled to be completed in October 2008, a
year after development started. Also, because the
area is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, much care had to be taken to preserve the
architecture of the building.
