Working Across the Bay Area

A DEEPER DIVE

Achieving Spectacular Parks at Related Santa Clara

We led the community input process for RSC’s 4.5-acre East Neighborhood Park. Our work included a comprehensive online survey, direct mail, social media, and event outreach. The result: a unanimous approval of the schematic design from the Santa Clara Recreation and Parks Commission.

San Francisco Bar Pilots Make Waves off the Water, Too

The Bar Pilots are essential in growing our economy and protecting our environment – and we’ve helped them show that to the world. A significant online presence has allowed them to gain a valuable identity and accomplish goals like passing AB 2056.

Redeveloping an Old Shopping Center into a Regional Hub

It looks to be a bright year ahead for our continued efforts on the redevelopment proposal of Sequoia Station. The proposal looks to transform an outdated shopping center into a mixed-use community with retail, hundreds of homes, and new public and community spaces.
