Project Description
City of Casselberry
ACi Architects’ created new Mixed-use Overlay/Architectural Standards for 25-acres of public-owned land that had severe site conditions, resulting in a low undevelopable market value. City had sought placemaking solutions for more than 10 years from the private sector. ACi’s new design for a large public park, lakeside restaurants & residences achieved community acceptance and produced a positive sale/financial return for the City, resulting in immediate placemaking development by the private sector strictly adhering to the design standards.
ACi Architcts’ design included highly visible large walkable/bikeable public park spaces activated by new lakes to increase market land value of building pads for residential and commercial lakeside restaurant properties. Casto and Integra are also long-range partners in the maintenance of public space, storm water collection and treatment for the overall site.
