    Coos Bay : Hollering Place master plan
    (City of Coos Bay (Or.), 2008-12-02) Coos Bay (Or.). Urban Renewal Agency; Coos Bay (Or.); PB PlaceMaking; Johnson Gardner; Oregon Downtown Development Association; Bramare Landscape Architecture
    More often than not, master plans are developed based on a vision and not market realities. This master plan moves previous planning efforts forward by market testing assumptions and concepts, incorporating developer feedback and by meeting multiple objectives that include: community objectives: some of which are non-revenue generating; Urban Renewal objectives: which are to increase the tax base and have a catalyst project to help spur additional development and investment in the Empire District; business district objectives: where what happens on the Hollering Place site should complement and connect with the existing business district.

    Portland : Market assessment, Burnside Bridgehead project
    (City of Portland (Or.), 2007-12) Johnson Gardner; Portland Development Commission; Portland (Or.)
