A diverse program demanded a unique team

The project’s central challenge is to integrate different uses on a complex site and address the needs of a grocery, retail tenants, office, housing within a dense building complex. Harriman’s diverse expertise and integrated A/E delivery made us an in deal partner to lead the design and planning. The project must contend with significant grades, provision of a below-grade garage component, and challenging zoning regulations.


We’d love to work on a project together.
