PROPOSAL FOR WORLD CLASS
WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT
THREE
HONOR THE WATER
OUR VISION
HONOR THE WATER
HONOR THE WATER
This will be a place that celebrates the Bay. A plan
designed using all of the design principles adopted by
the board, done by the design team that helped craft
them. A place that is easily accessible all hours of the
day and a place where a signature park will promote the
fullest enjoyment of the natural wonder and beauty of
the Bay. Celebration Place is designed to be a true world
class waterfront destination.
The heart of the plan is Celebration Park, a 26 acre destination that integrates the North and South Embarcadero
walkways. The public realm defines the character of this
new Bayfront experience with entertainment, ecological
and cultural attractions setting the tone for the place.
The Baywalk, a lightweight, open mesh promenade lets
pedestrians walk out over the waters of the bay and enjoy
a special perspective of the ecology of the bay including
marine life and swimming seals, birds, boat traffic and
the gentle breezes and scent of the water. The Baywalk
expresses the celebration of nature and ecology in a publicly friendly manner. This experience will literally extend
Marina Park to Tuna Harbor, more than doubling access
and public realm frontage along the bay.
Marina Park and Ruocco Park will be combined at the
Bayfront into a single comprehensive cultural park
experience. Furthermore, Pacific Highway and Kettner
Boulevard will end gloriously in the new park instead of
the parking lots and gates that greet visitors today. Public
art and historical information about the Bayfront will be
integrated into a cultural trail that expands the cultural
framework on the North Embarcadero today. Celebration
Park is the setting for bayside restaurants and shops, and
includes a lawn for casual and passive recreation.
The climax of the park is the San Diego Spinnaker. This
artful attraction will be part sculpture, part attraction and
will become a photographic icon long into the future as
part of the city’s skyline. The Spinnaker is located on the
southern tip of the park, one of the important locations
within Celebration Place. At 400 feet tall and defined by
graceful curves, the public will be able to rise to the top
of the attraction and enjoy long distance views of the
city, the bay and the ocean. There will be nothing like it
anywhere else.
Everyone enjoying the bayfront will also have the choice
to visit Celebration Harbor for entertainment and a
unique maritime experience. We envision the transformation of Tuna Harbor over time from a series of fishing
docks into a premiere entertainment basin surrounded
by shops and restaurants and an active environment
for boating. Imagine what the Inner Harbor means to
Baltimore of what Darling Harbor means to Sydney and
you have a picture of what Celebration Harbor will mean
to San Diego. The harbor will attract visitors from around
the world to enjoy the full majesty of the bay and the
boating culture of San Diego. Celebration Harbor will be
a boater-friendly place that accommodates transients,
dinner cruises, harbor tours and a ferry stop. Access
for boats of all sizes and types define the open marine
culture of Celebration Harbor. The harbor will also be
the front door address for a new performing arts hall, a
boutique hotel and destination retail.
GUARANTEE THE PUBLIC REALM.
The vision for Celebration Place is all about public access
to the Bayfront and activating the Bayfront to world
class status. The guarantee is certain as this plan defines
the Embarcadero, Celebration Park, the Baywalk and
Celebration Harbor as accessible elements every hour
of every day. A key planning principle of the vision is
to ensure that the street grid integrates with the public
realm at Celebration Place. To improve accessibility to
a higher degree, the public realm plan incorporates the
light rail stop for Seaport Village, a new city bus and
shuttle stop on Harbor Drive at Celebration Harbor and
a ferry landing into a comprehensive pedestrian network
that incudes bike paths with a safe, high quality pedestrian environment that is free of automobile traffic. This
transportation center will bring together port and city
initiatives to enhance the public’s ability to enjoy the bay.
The public realm and place making strategy is designed
to provide many different views and viewpoints of the
bay and to create value for real estate parcels in the plan.
The open spaces within Celebration Park include linear
paths, larger spaces with lawns for gathering and recreation, smaller intimate spaces for quiet reflection and
repose, clear paths for pedestrians and bikers and special
places to have interaction with the Bay. The enduring
image of Celebration Place will be the parks, baywalk,
harbor, public edges and greenery that are so appropriate to the overall feeling of San Diego. This is the truest
expression of the Guarantee of the Public Realm.
A LIGHT TOUCH TOWARD
DEVELOPMENT.
The buildings and architecture of Celebration Place are
seen to be predominantly low rise in scale and generally
set back from the water. At the harbor, entertainment
buildings will be closer to the water, which is important
to their experience and success. A boutique hotel will be
a mid-rise structure- and the tallest building in the planand will blend in visually with the city skyline with taller
towers on nearby blocks.
The hotel and performance hall will share a parcel
located at the foot of Pacific Highway and fronting on
Celebration Harbor. Pacific Highway will be the access
and Celebration Harbor will be the experience. The hotel
and performance hall will share a large porte cochere
and common lobby that will overlook the harbor and the
bay with Point Loma seen in the distance. The hotel hosts
500 keys in 25 stories with ballrooms in the podium and
retail and restaurants lining the harbor and Bayfront.
The performance hall is perched over the podium with
the pre-function lobby and garden on the hotel podium
roof with views of the bay. Patrons will rise one more
level to the performance hall and will enjoy a wonderful
spectacle. The stage is situated along the Bayfront, backdropped by a large glass wall. The audience will enjoy
performances with views of the harbor in the foreground,
the bay, sunsets, boats and Point Loma in the background. Parking is below grade and never visible. Lastly,
the performance hall is suspended over the Embarcadero
to provide a dramatic moment as pedestrians pass by
every day and night.
The retail plan reinforces the public realm plan. The
retail elements are continuously integrated throughout
Celebration Park. Some retail is on the green park and
connected closely to the Police Headquarters. Some
retail is located within the base of the hotel and along the
Embarcadero at the Harbor. Some retail wraps around
Celebration Harbor and defines the boating basin as an
important place. These three opportunities are integrated
in a continuous plan but offer different shopping, retail
and entertainment experiences for visitors. These buildings will be generally two stories in height with outdoor
seating and decks on the upper level to provide more
views of the bay.
The strategy for parking is to build one large structure
below grade with no visible parking for the project. This
garage will house 1,400 cars. In combination with shared
parking from Manchester Pacific Gateway, the Fish
Market site, utilization of light rail, bus users and hotel
users on and off site who will walk here, this will meet the
demand of the project.
In Summary, the project proposes a total of 718,000
square feet of development and 650,000 square feet of
parking. The majority of the land is used for public access
and the public realm, parks, walks, harbors and paths that
will make Celebration Place all about honoring the water.
DESIGN CONCEPT
Public
Private
Celebration Place : Using the land to the public’s benefit
In simple terms, the land is planned for one of two intentions; first is land used for the public realm and second
is land used for private development. This strategy will
“Guarantee the Public Realm”. Private development is
defined by clear parcels and there is no blurring the distinction between what is public and what is private. This
project is composed of 44 acres of land today, broken
into various leaseholds and approximately 15 acres of
public realm interspersed but not linked. The Vision for
Celebration Place is based on an integrated public realm
plan consisting of 26 acres of public realm, adding 11
acres of new high quality space to the Bayfront. This plan
sets aside 60% of the land for public access, public parks
and public streets, a commitment that exceeds normal
standards.
Conversely there are 21.92 acres of leasehold land for
development today, largely dominated by surface parking lots and buildings scattered throughout. Celebration
Place proposes 18 acres of land for development, with
parcels that reinforce the public realm experience of
Bus
Light Rail
Ferry
Priority One : Uncompromised Public Access to the Bayfront
Public Access goes well beyond the ability to “get there”.
At Celebration Place it means the full bandwidth of
experiencing the Bay. The plan starts by correcting the
street grid where important streets like Kettner and
Pacific Highway ended in parking lots. In the future these
streets will connect, allow cars to park below grade out
of sight and out of competition with pedestrians. The
pedestrians along these streets will enjoy a simple and
elegant path to the water along wide sidewalks, through
parks and along the Embarcadero. Public access starts
with creating great walks and there will be many in this
plan. Access also considers public transportation, and
the public realm and pedestrian network will engage
the Seaport Village Light Rail Station with clear paths to
the water. The city’s bus and shuttle system will have
a friendly stop at the foot of Harbor Drive in the heart
of the waterfront. A ferry landing is a key part of the
plan as are transient boat slips. Access is expanded to
include cars, buses, rail, boaters, bikers and pedestrians
coming from nearby neighborhoods or hotels by foot or
taxi. Importantly most of these methods are free or little
charge, providing equal access across all spectrums of
visitors. This site will operate like a mini multi-modal transit center, a place where many forms of transportation
intersect.
The City’s Front Door : A Signature Park on the Bay
San Diego has long searched for it’s waterfront identity.
Many cities have shaped their identity in the waterfront
not with buildings and aggressive forms, but parks.
Battery Park in New York, Grant Park in Chicago, The
Emerald Necklace in Boston, Museum Park in Miami,
Golden Gate Park in San Francisco are all cities that
have invested in parks on their waterfronts to reap large
cultural and economic returns on those investments.
The next great American waterfront park will be at
Celebration Place where over a mile of new waterfront
walkways and parklands will be built.

Create a Water Plan : It all starts with the water
Waterfronts start with the water and Celebration Place
has many elements in and about the water that make
this place exciting. Tuna Harbor will transform into an
entertainment harbor and the water will be a place for
transient boats, dinner cruises, harbor tour boats and a
ferry landing. This is a place where people who don’t own
boats can get on a boat and enjoy the bat from a different
perspective. The Baywalk is about interaction with the
bay and the ecology, sea life and wildlife that inhabits
the bay. Along the park edge will be a place designed to
frame and create as many different views of the water as
possible including a wonderful vantage 400 feet above
the bay atop the San Diego Spinnaker.

Three Parts of Celebration Park : Something for Everyone
Marina Park today is hard to get to and underutilized.
Celebration Park will change all of that. The new park will
have over a mile of frontage along the full length of the
project site and be accessible from multiple paths with
ease. The park’s design features three environments,
each addresses different aspects of a Bayfront experience. Celebration Harbor will be a lively place of entertainment, food and retail shops with boats constantly
moving about the harbor basin. The Baywalk is a quiet
and unique feature where pedestrians can literally walk
out over the water and engage with the bay in a completely new way. Celebration Park is an enlargement and
redesign of Marina Park that will provide views, culture
and an iconic attraction. We expect this wonderful park
composition to attract millions of new visitors and add
to the enjoyment of residents many times over.
Celebration Harbor : A Big Transformation
Over time Tuna Harbor will become a new Maritime
and Entertainment center for the Embarcadero and a
key element at Celebration Place. This is a place where
the tuna fleet resides today and will remain in the early
days. The Harbor will develop in three steps. In the first
phase new retail will wrap the harbor and the tuna fleet
will remain in place. In the second phase the tuna fleet
will consolidate and new commercial slips and docks will
share the water. In the third phase the tuna fleet will relocate and the basin will complete the water plan.
The Baywalk : An Interactive Eco-Experience
The Baywalk extends the park and the city out onto the
bay with a fine mesh floor that lets the sun penetrate and
pedestrians to feel and see the water below their feet.
This will be a never before experience for everyone, a
chance to get closer to the seals, see the bay ecology
close up and to be surrounded by the smells and sounds
of the Bay.
A Safe Place for Pedestrians : Integrated with Downtown
Celebration Place prioritizes people over cars. When
cars arrive they will immediately descend into below
grade parking and be taken from sight and from conflict
with pedestrians. The parks and paths in our vision reinforce the desire to enjoy the bay, the need to access the
bayfront simply and the pleasure of bringing family and
friends to the water.

Development Program : Things to do at Celebration Place
Beyond the extensive park and public realm places, the
vision integrates retail and shopping, food and beverage,
entertainment, a Performing Arts Hall and a boutique
hotel in a waterfront park setting. Much care has been
taken to carefully integrate the buildings and the open
spaces. This is a place where the parks, people and public realm will dominate the environment, not large, shiny,
flamboyant buildings. The buildings at Celebration Place
are designed to reinforce and enhance the very public
experience of enjoying the bay.

Parking Strategy : Autos need to be accommodated but not dominate
Parking demand will be met in a number of ways. It
is important to understand that demand is dynamic,
not static and changes from weekday to weeknight to
weekend scenarios. That is the underpinning of a shared
parking strategy. The use of public transit also reduces
demand and leads to a more sustainable development.
And there will be many visitors in nearby hotels and other
locations who are already parked there and will walk here.
Thus our emphasis on transit and a strong pedestrian
network that links to the larger area. This team is also
developing the Manchester Pacific Gateway that has a
large parking inventory available during non-office hours.
We don’t want to overbuild parking, nor do we want to
underbuild it either. The nucleus of our strategy is a 14
acre underground garage on site that will accommodate
1400 cars, cars that will arrive and immediately disappear
underground. The surface lot at the Fish Market will
remain and continue to serve them. For many times of
the week this will suffice but there are times when more
is needed. Overflow sharing is an important relationship
within the Manchester vision, that Celebration Place and
Manchester Pacific Gateway work together using the
synergy to meet different needs. Celebration Place will be
at the front of a larger sustainability message to promote
transit and the plan will connect directly to the Seaport
Village light rail station. Over time we see light rail users
to be as proficient coming to the Bayfront as they are
today going to Padres games at Petco. This strategy
will provide public parking beyond the demand of this
project.
Engineering and the Environment : Practical Concerns
Sea level rise is a concern for all future waterfronts.
This site is exposed to forces that need to be addressed
and pose wonderful design opportunities. In addition
there are utility relocations and improvements that can
be considered within the same design parameters. The
common challenge is how to measure a defense and add
to the quality of the public realm, resulting in a sustainable, safe and imaginative waterfront environment.
With underground parking at the water, the new grade
of Celebration Place will be higher than today, and high
enough to protect against sea level rise and storm surges
in the future. The opportunity is to create an “Upper
Embarcadero”, 3-4 feet above what’s there today and
introduce a series of walls, berms, ramps and stairs that
will add delight to the Embarcadero experience. At the
same time, new utility easements can share this space
leading to a more efficient and sustainable approach
to technology, energy and sea level rise at Celebration
Place.
The Retail Plan : Allow for many Choices
Celebration Place will weave together the existing Police
Headquarters and The Fish Market Restaurant with new
shops and entertainment to create a continuous experience. The retail plan has three different opportunities.
First is around the harbor, where entertainment and food
and beverage will prevail. The attraction of the boating
activity will expand the marketplace and nighttime will
be great here too. The Fish Market is integrated into this
part of the plan. The second opportunity is the base of
the hotel fronting on the Embarcadero and the harbor.
Different restaurants and shopping experiences will be
available here at the center of the plan. The third opportunity id retail on the park, where shops and restaurants
will have open doors in the great California tradition. The
Police Headquarters is integrated into this group and we
envision a series of linked courtyards to further expand
the park experience.
The Embarcadero : Connects it all Together
The Embarcadero will remain as the unifying ingredient
through Celebration Place and connects to the North
and South Embarcadero walks. The Embarcadero is an
important place making device serving public access to
every Bayfront attraction and access to all of the retail
and shopping on the Bayfront.
Celebration Fish Market : A Weekly Event
One of the longstanding traditions at the Embarcadero
is a fish market and that tradition will continue at
Celebration Place. A weekly market will attract locals
and visitors to the catch of the week. The presence of
the tuna fleet will be felt in the harbor for many years to
come.
San Diego Spinnaker : An Iconic Attraction
The Spinnaker is part art, part attraction and part marquee for Celebration Place. No ordinary element would
do here and this is something special and unique to San
Diego. The form celebrates the long time sailing culture
of the bay. The location will activate the park and more
importantly place the Spinnaker in a wonderful place on
the city skyline. This attraction is not only to look at but
can also be ridden in state of the arts capsules that rise
400 feet to show views of the bay and at the same time
explain the history of maritime commerce and navigation and what that has meant to the development of San
Diego as a major America city.
San Diego Spinnaker : An Iconic Attraction
Blue Commerce : Maritime Business Opportunities
San Diego is rich with start-up Blue Tech companies and
heritage of Maritime Commerce. Both of these interests
are important to the culture of Celebration Place. A
Maritime Heritage Museum would be located within the
new development of Celebration Harbor. Office space for
Blue Tech companies are also housed above the retail on
the park. Both opportunities allow existing and emerging
enterprises to be a strong part of this new waterfront.
Celebration Hotel : 500 Rooms at a Boutique Scale
This hotel will be a new addition to San Diego’s inventory
of hotels. This hotel is different because it will cater to the
bayfront visitor not just the conventioneer. The theme of
the hotel will be about the history of San Diego, the special role this very site has played over the years and what
it will mean to the future. The hotel is modest in scope
and scale, keeping with the larger idea that this is to be a
great public place first. The hotel is sited on the harbor
and also at an important place where the tower can best
address views of the bay. And the hotel is integrated
closely with the overall retail plan and shares a common
lobby with the Performing Arts Hall.
Performing Arts Hall : A Special Blend
Celebration Hall is seen as one of the most special
rooms in the city. The site for the Hall is connected to
the hotel and perched over the Embarcadero and the
Harbor. Guests will arrive at a porte cochere and rise
to a second level pre-function hall that overlooks the
bay and the harbor. After cocktails the patrons will rise
again into the hall, a simple rectangular volume with a
focused perspective on the stage which set in front of
a large window framing a view of the Harbor, the Bay
and Point Loma. This will be a flexible space that can seat
up to 2000 or adjusted for smaller events. When needed
for theater the window over the Bay can be blacked out
and the room becomes a more traditional theatrical
space. This Hall is meant to be one of the photo icons
of Celebration Place both the view from inside the Hall

PRELIMINARY
MARKETING PLAN
We are very excited to develop a master plan that has
a combination of destination elements with the Hotel,
Retail, Restaurants, Parking but also the PERFORMING
ARTS, SPINNAKER ATTRACTION, MUSEUMS and Public
REALM with open space, parks and water elements. We
have individual elements that are both anchor and urban
fabric but most importuning are a composition designed
to be additive for the benefit of both the PUBLIC Realm
and Commercial elements that will be Visitor Serving
designed for the public at large with the downtown
community and regional residents. We will target the
composition to bring in families, business and visitors to
create a waterfront destination unique to the San Diego
Bay.
1. Hotel: the 500 key CELEBRATION Hotel will be a
boutique brand with a combination of waterfront
character and amenities including spa, health club,
meeting rooms, restaurants and retail that will
accommodate visitors, business and convention
center demand. The MFG successful experience in
programming, designing and operating San Diego Bay
hotels is unparalleled meeting the needs and demands
of our downtown. The existing waterfront hotel REV PAR
and financial success continue to reinforce the demand
for additional hotels in the marketplace especially best in
location and hotel program that the CELEBRATION Hotel
will achieve. Also, being in a vibrant active mixed use
Master Plan with PERFORMING ARTS, Retail/Restaurants,
SPINNAKER Attraction, Marina and other visitor
enhancing experiences further positions the 500 room
hotel to meet or exceed projected revenue that we have
outlined in the project economics section.
We would engage HVS or PKF as we move forward.
2. Performing Arts Center (PAC): the 2,000 seat
Performing Arts center will provide a venue for numerous
Civic events, live theatre, live music, Opera, and concerts
over the course of the year. We have discussed the PAC
with both the San Diego OPERA and San Diego Theatre
to program events in the Arts Center. We have also
retained David Redfearn to identify and market an annual
concert series to bring in live entertainment with a world
class venue and location. The Performing Arts Center
will also partner with cultural, civic and non-profits to
maximize the annual use of the facility. The Performing
arts will also market to the Hospitality and Convention
Center for hosting special events and plenary sessions.
The PA is expected to bring activity and the pubic to
the waterfront and be a synergistic element of making
the Retail, Restaurants and Attractions successful which
contributes to the Gross revenues and Port revenues for
the CELEBRATION Development.
3. SPINNAKER: the Spinnaker will be a world class design
that will have a symbolic image of a giant sail that will be
both public art and an attraction for the public. The Ride
will be a passive experience of slowly rising 400 feet to
the top of the sail in an enclosed capsule being able to
have groups and a family enjoy the tremendous vistas of
our downtown, San Diego Bay, Pacific Ocean, Coronado
and Point Loma! As you enter into the SPINNAKER
attraction you will go through a waterfront museum
with San Diego Bay ecology and Aquarium designed
for tourists, families and kids. Our research around the
world is that this type of attraction including the museum
will serve as one of the project ANCHORS and drive
the public to the Park both activating the park day and
night along with providing business for the retail and
restaurants in the CELEBRATION PLACE master plan.
PRELIMINARY MARKETING PLAN
We are working with Howard Samueis Inc. & Merlin
Entertainment Group for the development and
operations of the SPINNAKER attraction. MERLIN
ENTERTAINMENTS is the leading name in location-based,
family entertainment. Europe’s Number 1 and the World’s
second largest visitor attraction operator who has over
100 attractions including the LONDON EYE.
4. RETAIL and RESTAURANTS. Cushman Wakefield
Retail division is excited about the repositioning of the
existing dated merchandising plan for the leasehold. With
the various public elements of the master plan and the
SPINNAKER, PERFORMING ARTS, MARINA and WATER
FEATURES that will serve as anchors attracting significant
people throughout the year the retail and water front
restaurants will be extremely successful. HKS design and
understanding of integrating the R & R into these mixed
use master plans in other waterfront developments
around the world will add to the overall excitement and
success of the project.
5. BLUE TECH and COMMERCE: the strategically placed
Blue Tech and Commerce will be designed to attract
emerging San Diego Bay research and startups along
with accommodating fishing related commerce as well.
We have already discussed the idea with the TUNA and
FISHING Community and they would also like to add a
San Diego BAY Fishing museum partnering with the San
Diego Historical Society and KPBS. CUSHMAN Wakefield
is excited to market this component of the Master Plan.
6. FISH MARKET: embrace the success of the existing
weekly fish market and expand it to accommodate other
fresh produce and locally grown food that the downtown
residents have been requesting for many years.
7. Marina: working with the Fishing community, we
plan on developing a two phase master plan for the
Marina and expanded dockage. Already meeting with
representative of the TUNA and FISHING that are
currently using and have dockage at the TUNA HARBOR.
In our meeting along with visual examples of the damage
the existing Marina is experiencing due to ongoing wake

action coming into the Marina under the Plank way
access to the slips, the Phase I scope should be aimed at
making the deferred maintenance and improvements to
preserve and keep the existing fishing fleet viable. We are
proposing additional slippage and wharfage tie ups north
of the Fish Market along the existing sea wall.
Phase II would occur with a solution worked out with
the Fishing Community, SDUPD and CCCC. Having
developed and operated the MARRIOTT Marina and
researching the existing pent up demand and costs
from the MARRIOTT we are confident that our PHASE
II Development Plan will be an exciting next step to
redevelop the Marina into an URBAN waterfront, active,
vibrant and 24 hour in activity.

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego
The Manchester Grand Hyatt is one of the most profitable Hyatt hotels in
the country. The hotel features elegantly appointed guest accommodations,
restaurants, and lounges with exceptional views of the magnificent San
Diego bay. The Hyatt sold for the largest amount of $570 million. In 1983,
Papa Doug Manchester deeded back his leasehold interest in approximately
12 acres of land to the Port of San Diego, which enabled the city of San Diego
to begin construction and ultimately complete the development of phase
one of today’s remarkable San Diego Convention Center, which opened in
1990. The project was so successful, that phase two doubled its size in 1999.
Within the 29-acre complex lies the magnificent Manchester Grand Hyatt
San Diego hotel, which is the largest waterfront hotel on the West Coast, and
the second largest of more than 627 Hyatt hotels and resorts worldwide. The
hotel was built in two phases: PHASE 1: The 700,000 square foot, 875-room
harbor tower, is 40 stories tall and was completed in 1992. PHASE 2: Added
790,000 square feet and a 750-room seaport tower to the existing 875
rooms. The 1,625 room property allowed for great advances in the San Diego
convention and tourism industries.
The adjourning Seaport Tower, is located on 3.29 acres adjacent to Seaport
Village and west of the existing hotel. The project was financed with a limited
income verification loan of $230 million plus equity. Upon its completion in
Summer 2003, the 33-story tower expansion began generating $9 million in
rent per year to the Port of San Diego.

The west side of Manhattan has long been envisioned as the future third
major business district for New York City. This framework rezones the area
and facilitates the flexibility needed in cities today where mixed-use development predominates and the market drives implementation. The plan
accommodates new transit lines and stations, the expansion of the Javits
Convention Center, a sports stadium that was to be the home of the NY Jets
and host for the 2012 Olympics, along with a mix of cultural, residential and
office uses organized by city streets and new parks. The High Line opened
in 2009 as the beginning point for 30 million square feet of office and 15
million square feet of residential investment on the West Side.

The museums are located on the north side of the park to block noise from
the highway and allow for the most sunshine in the park. Small gardens are
located to the south, a series of rooms that provide intimate spaces. These
small rooms, together with the museums, frame a large open space that provides a view to the bay and flexible performance space. A large industrial slip
to the south has been transformed into a civic space with a docking island,

The bayfront site was largely underutilized and is situated across the freeway
from downtown. The plan connects the city to the bayfront by extending key
downtown streets and using existing light rail and bus services. A commercial
harbor anchors the water plan and becomes the center for retail, residential
and hotel development on the bayfront. Wetlands and environmental concerns were addressed in the planning process. The master plan was shaped

Detroit West Riverfront

LOCATION: Detroit, Michigan
SIZE: 300 acres
DESIGN COMPLETION: 2015
SERVICES
As part of a large and publicly sponsored effort to revitalize it’s riverfront, the
City of Detroit has focused on lands to the west of downtown composed of
abandoned railroads, underutilized lands and poorly maintained industrial
buildings. The Ambassador Bridge Landing and Customs area dominates the
area with heavy truck traffic and the I-175 highway results in many communities being cut off from river access. The master plan focuses on a new park
system that grows from a series of new streets and blocks that overcome
the major infrastructure hurdles that have blocked the communities from
the river. The plan proposes a new Riverside Drive that defines a 75-acre
park. The new drive completes a street network that is the framework for
6,000,000 square feet of mixed-use development. The scale of the development is sensitive to adjacent neighborhoods but takes advantage of all
the new waterfront investment by encouraging taller, denser development
closer to the Detroit Riverfront.

The heart of the plan is the cove. New piers, a marina, historic boat ties, kayak
launches, paddle boats, and restaurants on barges create an active water

San Diego International Airport. The three-story expansion consisted of
approximately 494,205 square feet of new public and nonpublic areas,
providing ten additional contact aircraft gates, a 15,000 square foot
atrium food court area, large security screening check point capable of
accommodating new developments in security technology, and an inline
baggage screening matrix that accommodates both the new and existing
terminal baggage system. The new terminal also included passenger
circulation, airline check-in/ticket lobby, waiting areas, seating areas, public
art, restrooms, office space, special technology systems, and other related
service/support areas. 30 acres of new jet parking and taxiway support the
terminal expansion and allow jets parked overnight to reach their gates in the
morning without crossing the runway. The new project was built in the middle
of the busiest single runway airport in the country on a tightly constrained
site.
The new construction could not interfere with the existing Airport operations.
Extensive planning was required to allow the new terminal framing to tie
directly into 900 linear feet of the existing terminal exterior wall and roof
during the rainy season. Months later, the exterior wall was completely
removed without disruption to operations.

SNØHETTA
Snøhetta has operated continuously since its
founding in 1989. Since its first establishment in
Oslo, Norway, the company has grown to include
several international studios. In 2004, Snøhetta
established a new permanent studio, located
in New York. Snøhetta is now fully registered
to operate as a professional architectural
company in New York and the United States,
as well as Canada, Norway, and France.
Design Methodology
Snøhetta values human interaction.
All of their work strives to enhance
the sense of place, identity and
relationship to others and the
physical spaces they inhabit, whether
natural or human-made. A dialogue
always exists between what they
create and the inherent character
and conditions of a site or social
identity. They have designed and
built libraries, theaters, museums,
airport terminals, doll houses, birds’
nests, beehives, currency and brand
identities all with equal care and
consideration for the results as they
will exist in time.
Integration of Landscape and
Architecture
A definitive relationship between
landscape and architecture is a
driving force in all of their work.
The disciplines of landscape and
architecture should be worked
together without divisions from
the earliest stages of design. This
commitment has few parallels
within the industry. The quality
and strength of identity provoked
by their designs is achieved by
incorporating targeted research,
leveraging what are often challenges
as opportunities, and factoring the
social and political environment
into the creative process. Projects
truly of place can foster meaningful
and often surprising interactions,
creating something simultaneously
new and timeless.
They are an established full-service
design for Architecture, Landscape
Architecture, Interiors, and Graphic
Design in the United States and
internationally. They are the Design
and Executive Architects for several
projects in the United States, most

notably the Times Square Reconstruction, the new San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the September 11th
National Museum Pavilion. They often collaborate with
local partners in order to ensure that the project is best
served with local knowledge and creative insight.
Who they are and what they do are inextricably linked.
From the beginning, their practice has been defined by
its open and inclusive methods. In a counter-intuitive
approach, they consider how much the work can give
back to us as opposed to how much they give to it. Their
work has been characterized as both socially potent and
sculpturally memorable. What they create is often more
readily recognized than their name.
Their focus is not on authorship but on specific design
conditions. Materials and elements are few and often
express a dialogue between more natural and managed
characteristics.
Collaboration is at the core of their culture and they have
a track-record of working seamlessly with local architect
partners as well as integrating technical information from

their consultants. Through their work on large high profile
projects, their design leaders are adept at negotiating
multi-headed client bodies and fielding the often
conflicting interests of a wide range of stakeholders.
Snøhetta thrives from rich collaborations with large
consultant teams and client groups alike, and excels at
the art of careful consensus building through multiple
workshops, charettes, agency review committees and
other working venues.
Client, user and internal office workshops drive their
design process and can often produce the most exciting,
useful and fresh takes on a problem, giving way to a built
project that can respond in kind.
Their team has expertise not only in developing programs
for new facilities and public spaces based on needs but
also on complex projects involving existing spaces and
additions that must also consider the existing “supply”
of spaces and opportunities. Facilitating a programming
process that balances the two, gets broad input, that
looks outside their industry for best practices, and that
integrates cost analysis is their hallmark.

Willamette Falls Riverwalk
LOCATION: Oregon City, Oregon
SIZE: Approximately 1/2 mile long
SERVICES PROVIDED
Located at the end of Main Street in Oregon City, the Willamette Falls is the
second largest waterfall in the United States, and sits next the industrial site
of the Blue Heron Paper Mill, which was shuttered in a bankruptcy in 2011.
The project aims to create a Riverwalk that connects people to the falls
as well as a Willamette Falls Downtown District with spaces for housing,
employers and recreation. When completed, the halfmile long Riverwalk will
give the public access to Willamette Falls for the first time in over 100 years.
The design team’s approach highlights the falls and the complex material
layers of the site, serving as a portal to the Northwest’s collective history.
The formerly industrial site tells the story of workers and industrialists who
ground flour, drove timber, spun wool, milled paper, and generated electricity
at this location. The physical strata of the site tells the story of deep geology,
dynamic hydrology, and vibrant ecology, together forming the spirit of place.
The Riverwalk design is informed by a desire to frame and enhance tactile
experiences.

Golden State Warriors Sports and Entertainment
Complex & Waterfront Park, Piers 30-32
In 2012, when the Golden State Warriors were planning a new arena on
Piers 30–32 on the San Francisco waterfront, near the Bay Bridge, Snøhetta
worked as the architect and landscape architect for the redevelopment.
Along with the arena, retail and 8 acres of terraced plazas will also be
planned on the site.
Pedestrians approach the arena from a large plaza along the bay on the
southwest edge of the rebuilt piers. Terraced steps and ramps rise to a
second plaza inside the site, with shops on the west and the arena concourse
on the east. There is a strong interest in connections to the city and Bay area.
Piers 30-32 will become a sculpted, multi-tiered environment focused on
the Bay Bridge, with an ascending set of plazas designed as a procession of
spaces designed to draw the visitor in. If followed to the water’s edge, one
will find an active public space for water activities such as kayak docks and
a fireboat landing. The diagonal procession of plazas adds variety to a huge
rectangular site that will remain almost entirely free of shadows. Just north of
the arena sits a large landscaped area 45 feet above the bay with impressive
views of the Bay Bridge and provides a gathering place overlooking the
waterfront.

Karl Johans Gate
LOCATION: Oslo, Norway
SIZE: 10,000 square meters
SERVICES PROVIDED
Karl Johans is Oslo’s main boulevard leading from the Central Station
through the central shopping district, and up to the Royal Palace. Snøhetta
re-designed the historic streetscape to create more engaging public and
green spaces for pedestrians, and to improve water management and the
streetscape’s pavement.
The design focused on enhancing the dramatic perspective of the new
Karl Johans Gate by reinforcing the strong middle axis. The pavement on
the south side was re-finished to create a symmetrical street profile. During
the day, the curbs and shadow further enforce this perspective. All vertical
elements placed on the pavement, like light- and flagpoles, are also defined
by these lines.At night, the perspective is highlighted through the rhythm of
the streetlight poles. More than 50 custom-made details and elements have
been designed for this project. The large scale of the details reflects the
importance of this project. The rainwater runoff from the Parliament and the
Palace meet at the lowest point on Karl Johans Gate, and is then transported
by drain elements designed as infrastructural sculptures which lead the water
to the underground river ‘Bislettbekken’.By expanding the width of the street
side pedestrian areas, they now appear as proud promenades leading to
the Castle, home to outdoor restaurants and cafés on both sides. A number
of large lime trees have been planted to complete the row of existing trees,
creating a strong lush green facade.

LOCATION: Guadalajara, Mexico
SIZE: 150694 ft² / 14,000 m²
SERVICES PROVIDED
The new Museum of Environmental Sciences in Guadalajara, Mexico will be
part of the University of Guadalajara (CCU), a cultural district adjacent to the
main campus and planned wilderness preserves of the Barranca ravine and
is in Mexico’s second most-populous city. Within the CCU’s cultural master
plan, the Museum carefully bridges over the central promenade that joins
the new library and auditorium buildings. The design integrates the physical
and social conditions that frame it. The forms and spaces were designed as
a balance between what is perceived as untamed and domesticated. The
Museum’s architecture and interiors are punctuated by large courtyards
and gardens, allowing natural light and fresh air to penetrate down into the
Museum’s lower floors. These courtyards are linked together creating a free
and accessible public passage directly through the building for visitors to
CCU campus, and engaging a variety of audiences on a daily basis – beyond
the paying visitors to the museum.
The courtyards are unusually shaped, carved in soft, eroded forms bringing
together the traditional methods of Spanish colonial planning with the natural
phenomena found in the sunken pools and ravines of Jalisco. This unique
hybrid of cultural and natural landscapes allows for a new understanding
in Mexican architecture. The roof of the building is accessible to the public,
with a café and gardens,to relax and take shade in. The new center is at once
a magnet for social gatherings of various sizes as well as a backdrop for the
buildings that surround it.
