David Contributes to SD Daily Transcript Executive Roundtable
Piazza d'Oro, Oceanside, CA
Experts including developers, construction managers, architects, planners and designers met on June 18 to gain insight into San Diego's mixed-use projects-a growing trend in urbanization. Participants included David McCullough, principal and landscape architect; Yehudi Gaffen, founder and CEO of Gafcon; Perry Dealy, president and CEO of Dealy Development; Richard Gustafson, CityMark Development president; Frank Wolden, architect for Skyport Studio; and Michael Stepner, professor at the NewSchool of Architecture + Design.
DAVID'S ROUNDTABLE INSIGHT
"What residents want in a mixed-use development is evolving. The residents of such properties don't want to see what is referred to as a "Texas wrap," in which a building wraps around structured parking. The success of a mixed-use project generally depends on the neighborhood. While mixed-use is a way of life in communities such as Little Italy and North Park, many other communities may not be as receptive."
