"Commercial to Residential is not a new idea, but in this case, it’s interesting." In the heart of Providence, Rhode Island, the Arcade Building is a testament to innovative urban redevelopment. Once America's oldest shopping mall, it faced years of decline until a visionary transformation into a mixed-use marvel, blending retail with residential life. ⛔ The Challenge: Reviving a historic landmark into a vibrant community space. ✅ The Solution: Converting the upper floors into 48 micro-apartments while preserving the ground floor for retail, marrying convenience with charm in downtown Providence. This project highlights the incredible potential of commercial-to-residential conversions to preserve our architectural heritage and address today's urban housing needs. It's a shining example of how we can breathe new life into underused spaces, making our cities more livable and affordable.

Did you know that Golden Gate Park, stretching over 1,000 acres, is actually larger than New York’s Central Park (which it was modeled after)? It is over 3 miles long and half a mile deep- stretching across nearly half of San Francisco! It’s been an iconic part of our city since its creation in the 1870s, transforming a windswept sand dune into the lush urban oasis we know and love today. The park was designed by William Hammond Hall and John McLaren, who both had a vision of creating a public space for everyone to enjoy, regardless of background or status. Today, Golden Gate Park hosts world-class museums, stunning gardens, and major music festivals and other events that draw tens of millions of visitors each year. From the serene Japanese Tea Gardens to the renowned de Young Museum and peaceful Stow Lake, this park reflects San Francisco’s spirit of community and innovation immersed in beautiful nature. This park is personally one of my favorite San Francisco landmarks; no matter how many times you visit there is always something new to see, and despite its central location there are many parts of the park that are secluded and full of enormous, centuries-old trees where you can’t even tell that you are surrounded by huge buildings and noisy traffic. As a San Francisco native, I deeply understand how the city’s rich history and vibrant spaces contribute to its dynamic property landscape. Whether you’re looking to invest, lease, or develop commercial property in our beautiful city, my local expertise and knowledge of San Francisco’s ever-evolving market can help guide you to success. Let’s connect and discuss how we can make your commercial real estate goals a reality in this extraordinary city! 🏙️ #CommercialRealEstate #SanFrancisco #GoldenGatePark #LocalExpert #RealEstateInvesting #CRE #PropertyManagement #SanFranciscoHistory #Office #Retail #Industrial

A glance into Miami’s Hidden Paradise… ACRE Development and Lennar Multifamily Condominiums (Quarterra) commissioned us, Jastor, to develop a brand concept for their newest Miami waterfront property in the MiMo District of the city. Our approach was to utilize historical resources of the neighborhood as main inspiration: Typographical and architectural legacy were used as a platform for developing this brand. We spent time in the area reimagining how a modern building would fit inside a mid century community without compromising its soul. We now present Adela: the perfect balance between aesthetics and ethics, a place where altruism comes first. An urban retreat that gives a sense of community and where trailblazers meet. An eclectic home where nature meets luxury. Lay back, revitalize, and admire the Bay at Adela at Mimo Bay. Adela at MiMo Bay is an upscale apartment complex that speaks to those looking for an oasis at home: where you can leave the city life behind. A community where nature is wealth. Adela is a waterfront property that allows its residents to experience the benefits of Miami’s Bay. A living culture with interactive experiences. A fresh and unique direction, to cross out regular emotions and meaning of words and replace them with mindful words and tones.

The CBD of a hamlet, town or city is not the true indicator of the approach that a town or city has to its public open space. Civic pride, or basic economics will ensure that the inner city and its public spaces are well maintained and ascetically pleasing. To truly understand the value that a municipality places on its parks you need to get out into its suburbs. How much POS is out there, how is it maintained, are the facilities contemporary, and most importantly their playspaces, are they modern and engaging. How well planned is it. Does it reflect who the people are. Is it deliberate, or haphazard. Land managers often put all their eggs in the same basket. They over-embellish their "crown jewels" and leave the rest of their POS portfolio as it is. These parks are often referred to as "natural". When you have a limited budget, which most land managers have, then you have to pick which ones you want to present. But, as I noted, if you want to understand how serious a land manager take their responsibilities, go to the places where it doesn't matter so much. Parco Nord Milano, Italy. (not an inner-city park).

New York City has long been a symbol of evolution, constantly reinventing itself to stay ahead of global trends. Now, one of its most iconic streets, Park Avenue, is on the cusp of a significant transformation, offering the chance to create an open space that will benefit residents, workers, and visitors alike. This is not merely a beautification project; it’s a visionary plan that will cement New York’s status as a world-class city for decades to come. Over the years, NYC has consistently met the challenges posed by other global cities through innovation and resilience. Projects like the High Line, Domino Park, and Governors Island have successfully transformed neighborhoods, creating green spaces that foster community, boost tourism, and drive local economies. Park Avenue’s future redevelopment, spearheaded by Mayor Adams and Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, aims to follow this path by revitalizing Midtown East with an inspiring public park between 46th and 57th Streets. The new park will replace the existing “malls”—enclosed flower beds along the avenue that, while visually appealing, don’t serve the area’s needs. Historically, these malls were once pedestrian-friendly promenades, but over the decades they shrunk in favor of car access. Today, as New York's urban landscape evolves, it’s clear that the time has come to reimagine this stretch of Park Avenue. In 2018, Fisher Brothers launched the “Beyond the Centerline” competition, calling on designers to envision a new future for Park Avenue. Hundreds of ideas poured in, evolving into a proposal supported by stakeholders from the design, preservation, and open space communities. Now, the city is offering landscape architects and urban designers the opportunity to submit their boldest ideas, with up to $1.5 million in potential awards for the winning vision. A revitalized Park Avenue will not only add two acres of vibrant green space but will also serve as a catalyst for economic growth. A recent study by HR&A Advisors projects that this transformation could generate up to $1 billion in incremental property tax revenue. Moreover, a Gensler report found that 35% of New Yorkers want more green space in Midtown and Lower Manhattan, underscoring the public demand for such projects. This project showcases New York's bold vision and commitment to its residents. Transforming underused space into a vibrant landscape will strengthen community ties, boost local businesses, and keep the city globally competitive. We’re excited to see how the city's top urban designers will reimagine Park Avenue's future. #ParkAvenueRevitalization #NYCOpenSpace #UrbanDesign #MidtownEast #GlobalCity #LandscapeArchitecture #InnovativeDesign #SustainableUrbanism #GreenSpaces #EconomicGrowth #MayorAdams #TransformNYC #DesignCompetition
