Mixed-Use, Transit-Oriented Examples

  1. The Burnside Rocket - Portland, Oregon click here.

    The exterior aesthetic reminds me of the triple-deckers throughout Somerville. May be a nice application for neighborhood consistency.
  2. Trolley Square - Cambridge, Massachusetts click here.

    Local example of mixed use, affordable housing, and green design.
  3. Placentia-Westgate - Placentia, California click here.

    Nice example of reuse into mixed-use with attention to walkability and streetscape.
  4. Hillsboro, Oregon click here.

    Mixed use transit development. Great street facades.
  5. Eastworks - Easthampton, MA click here.

    This project is in my hometown. Its a reuse of an old industrial building redone for mixed use retail and residential. Highly successful, though not transit oriented. Our project is not as large but worth looking at.
(More to come)
