It’s a Process…

Some of our projects have long phases of permitting or financing, others are simply waiting for Mother Nature to grace us with perfect lighting while just the right plants are in bloom. Check in here for plan renderings and sketches of sites in various stages of development.

MORTON STATION VILLAGE AND THE STEVEN P. ODOM SERENITY GARDEN

RBLA Design LLC has been working with the City of Boston Parks Department, Planning Office for Urban Affairs, Inc., Boston's Department of Neighborhood Development, the Odom Family, and Redefining Our Community members to develop a large City-owned parcel in Mattapan. Once the location of the neighborhood's police station, this long vacant lot will soon feature affordable rental and home ownership opportunities, a community center, and the Steven P. Odom Serenity Garden.

We work with clients to study development potential of their sites, using GIS data available from the State and municipalities. We are able to take an holistic approach to site master planning and to map potential constraints and permitting needs at the initiation of a project or prior to purchase. These GIS capabilities also allow us to do broad studies within municipalities for site selection purposes.
Working with development teams, we are able to prepare feasibility studies allowing developers to determine potential site yields, assist municipalities in the study of flexible or “cluster” zoning, and explore site plan options beyond the standard subdivision requirements. Our site constraints and opportunities plans and plan renderings are often used for early meetings with landowners, municipal agencies, project abutters, public hearings, and as marketing tools once the project is successfully permitted.
