Belmar Lakewood, Colorado Formed 30 years ago from 13 separate villages outside Denver, Colorado’s fourth largest city, Lakewood, had no center where its commercial, civic, and cultural worlds naturally converged. Elkus Manfredi developed a master plan and design that knit together a mix of uses to create that downtown. The site was a regional mall originally built in the 1970s, in decline due to growing competition and ideally located in a residential area adjacent to civic activities. Elkus Manfredi extended the street grid through former parking lots, integrating the site with its surroundings, and lined the streets with small-scaled, distinctly different facades to create the sense that the downtown had evolved naturally with the growth of the city. A total of 3.3 million square feet of interconnected retail, office, and residential space is converged into 19 blocks of what can be summarized as workable urbanity.

100 Cambridge Street Boston, Massachusetts The Massachusetts Legislature invited development proposals to rehabilitate the defunct 22-story Leverett P. Saltonstall State Office Building. Partnering with MassDevelopment, Elkus Manfredi Architects’ winning design solution created a signature mixed-use development and achieved far more than the project’s original scope through incorporation of private sector components that carry much of the project cost. The repositioned office building itself presents two distinct images and addresses, seamlessly combining very different public and private identities and functions.

CityPlace West Palm Beach, Florida CityPlace is a paradigm of the New Urbanism at its best: a vibrant pedestrian environment, diverse streetscapes, and signature public spaces juxtaposed with a rich program of cultural elements mixed with residential, retail, office, hotel, dining, and a variety of entertainment venues. The architecture’s style and human scale are inspired by the historic southern Mediterranean/Italian architecture brought to the Palm Beaches from Europe.
