Water Street Tampa

Project Description

Elkus Manfredi created a master plan of more than 10 million square feet for a mixed-use neighborhood that is the first WELL Pre-certified Community in the world and has transformed downtown Tampa.
The mixed-use nature of the development encourages street life that is active 18 hours a day.
An active pedestrian experience is at the heart of the master plan, with one million square feet of new retail, cultural, educational, and entertainment space at street level, as well as 12.9 acres of new and enhanced park and public gathering places.
The diverse mix of residences, business, retail, and other uses will act as a magnet for talent in commerce, the arts, education, and other urban attributes.

Lyrik Back Bay

Project Description

Samuels & Associates commissioned Elkus Manfredi Architects to transform an inhospitable stretch of highway overpass with a holistically designed mixed-use project that addresses a major rupture in Boston’s urban fabric created by the Massachusetts Turnpike and the CSX tracks. The two-tower project is the first privately developed air-rights project over the Massachusetts Turnpike since Copley Place in the 1980s.
This vital mixed-use hub consists of approximately 50,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 425,000 square feet of office space, 150,000 square feet of hotel use, as well as a below-grade parking garage with approximately 150 parking spaces.
The two towers are connected by a podium that includes restaurant and retail tenants and a two-level civic urban plaza. The plaza welcomes the public and its abundant landscaped greenery continues a tradition in Boston of integrating landscape, public space, and urban infrastructure.
The office building is certified LEED-NC Gold and WELL Core Certified Gold, and the hotel (CitizenM) is certified LEED-NC Gold.

Harvard University — Soldiers Field Park

Project Description

The Soldiers Field Park complex is a prominent component of Harvard University’s affiliate housing portfolio, with approximately 750 residents in 478 apartments spread across four buildings.
Elkus Manfredi provided planning and design services for extensive cosmetic, infrastructure, and system upgrades of the entire 1970s complex.
Our work reconfigured apartment layouts to meet changing tenant demographics, reprogrammed the street-level spaces to expand amenities and engage pedestrians, and redeveloped the site with improvements that connect with the surrounding and developing Allston campus.
The amenity program includes study rooms, conference rooms, lounge and common rooms, a fitness center, and indoor children’s playrooms.
All four phases are certified LEED-ID+C: Commercial Interiors Gold. The project also meets Harvard’s Healthier Building Academy’s standards and Healthcare Without Harm’s Greenhealth Approved standard.

Hood Bike Park Pavilion

Project Description

Envisioned as a destination for the neighborhood to come, the new 22,000-square-foot Hood Bike Park Pavilion will be used as a venue for small concerts, neighborhood festivals, and farmers’ markets.
The plane of the park’s landscape was lifted and tilted to buffer the adjacent elevated highway and industrial uses.
The wood-clad bike pavilion is tucked into the landscape and houses public bicycle facilities with bike racks, a repair shop, storage lockers, restrooms, and publicly accessible showers.
On top of the pavilion is an area with tables and chairs called The Perch, which overlooks the park and the Hood stack.
Sustainable features include deep-rooted and water-seeking plants, a bioswale with salt-tolerant plants, locally sourced plants, and storm water capture on site.
