Downtown | Infill Redevelopment
Across America, downtowns and the established neighborhoods that surround them, are experiencing a resurgence and emerging as regional destinations. With persistent losses in regional malls, large format retailers, and aging community commercial centers which began nearly two decades ago, communities are realizing that efforts to renew their downtown districts and business centers provide them with a sustainable opportunity for commercial growth. Ricker | Cunningham has extensive experience working with downtown leaders across the nation, bridging the dialogue between the public and private sectors, and explaining the challenges of each to the other. The firm’s principals have contributed to successful revitalization initiatives throughout the Midwest, South and Central United States for more than three decades.
We have found that one project will not get it done, communication and education are essential, and community is the cornerstone. People do not go to “downtown” to be alone. They go there to be together. Therefore, successful downtowns are those that put the experiences of people first, with buildings and spaces designed in-service to this awareness. Ricker | Cunningham’s approach marries the vision to the market, and delivers implementation strategies infused with an understanding of physical capacity, financial and fiscal reality, and partner responsibilities.
