Transit Oriented Visualization Project

 

Westminster Visualization by Donley & Associates Inc. Named Outstanding Technology

The Colorado Chapter of the American Planning Association awarded the Westminster (CO) Transit Oriented Development (TOD) the Outstanding Technology Award at their annual conference in Fort Collins.  

 

Visualization of Transit Oriented Development

Created a 3D model of proposed redevelopment located around a future transit stop.  The city's redevelopment agency wants to visualize potential development including high density, mixed-use buildings with the light rail trains and buses.  Photos of actual buildings applied to building models provide realism to the model.  Stakeholders, developers, decision-makers and planners can move throughout the landscape on a laptop to identify relationships, opportunities and issues.

Impact Analysis

Block level building analysis evaluates proposed land use, tax revenue and parking.  The plan contains 400,000 sf retail, 200,000 sf office and 70,000 sf industrial flex in 80 mixed use buildings.  Calculations estimate 913 dwelling units, half in mixed use buildings.  The development should  generate $2.3 million in taxes based on over $300,000,000 in construction costs.
