Project Types / Mixed-Use Developments
Align Uses, Approvals, and Phasing in One Strategy
Coordinate land-use decisions, entitlements, environmental planning, technical workstreams, stakeholders, and phasing across a complex mixed-use project.
One Site, Multiple Interdependent Decisions
Mixed-use projects connect land-use and program choices with access, circulation, parking, utilities, operations, ownership, financing assumptions, phasing, and public review.
CDA maintains the decision and coordination framework. Architects, engineers, surveyors, environmental specialists, counsel, budget and reserve professionals, operators, and agencies retain their respective roles.

Ownership & Public-Report Planning
Identify ownership, common-area, phasing, documentation, budget, reserve, and public-report workstreams early.
Stakeholders, Operations & Phasing
Keep sponsor, operator, design-team, agency, and community-context decisions connected.
