Alysha Buck, an associate principal and project manager who focuses on residential development at architecture and design firm Cooper Carry, concurred that value can be added to retail centers by adding multifamily residential. “You’re taking properties that were only accessible by car and all of a sudden creating that walkable environment, with users immediately adjacent,” she said. Multifamily residential also can become part of a larger renovation and repositioning of a retail center. Buck cited as an example Ballston Quarter in Arlington, Virginia, a reworking of one of the first major suburban shopping centers in the Washington, D.C., area, built in 1951. Cooper Carry collaborated with Callison RTKL on a redesign, which transformed it from an inward-facing, enclosed mall into an urban-style community with retail space facing the street as well as an open-air garden and plaza for gatherings to connect the retail spaces. The project, completed in 2019, includes...... Read More
