Located near the waterfront of Manatee Bay, Florida, this project is conceived as a catalyst for revitalization in the area—an anchor that introduces new energy and purpose while remaining deeply respectful of its surrounding context. Its design responds to the natural beauty of the bay, embracing the environment through material choices, orientation, and open space integration.

The development brings together a mix of uses to create a balanced and dynamic destination. A structured parking component supports the functionality of the site, while a carefully scaled hotel adds hospitality and activity that complements both short- and long-term visitors. Flexible office spaces are designed to support modern work environments, encouraging a mix of professional use that ranges from creative startups to established businesses. At the street level, a variety of retail spaces activate the public realm, offering local goods, dining, and services that connect directly with pedestrians and the community.
