Development direction
The chosen program, with the reasons it held up against the alternatives.
Back to where you were
What should this land become?
Development Strategy tests what a site could become, from a single anchor use to a mixed district, against one evidence base, so the direction is chosen before land, capital and design are committed.
The questions it answers
Five questions, answered on one evidence base.
- 01What is the highest and best use for this land?
- 02Which mix of uses can the market absorb, and when?
- 03How does each direction serve the strategic vision, and what does it cost to deliver?
- 04What must be fixed now, and what can wait for later phases?
- 05Which later decisions should this strategy govern?
