Detroit Riverfront Civic Center Promenade
|  | | | The new Detroit RIverfront Promenade adds vitality to the city's front door. It combines active waterfront uses with public recreational uses, including tour boat drop-off and pick-up, and space for large public gatherings. |
|
Central Indianapolis Waterfront Capital City Landing
|  | | | Capital City Landing is the first implemented phase of the Indianapolis Waterfront master plan and creates the principal park link between the downtown civic and commercial core and the river. |
|
Charleston Waterfront Park
|  | | | This seven acre park along the Cooper River includes a 1,200 foot promenade, wharf, shade structure with swings and fishing pier, participatory fountains, lawns and seating walls, and intimate gardens under a grove of live oak. Sasaki used state-of-the-art engineering techniques to stabilize the landfill site; restoration of the salt marsh protected the river’s marine ecology. |
|
National Harbor
|  | | | National Harbor is a mixed-use complex located along the Potomac River just south of Washington, DC. While convenient to key tourist sites, National Harbor is a resort and convention destination that offers an alternative to the urban experience of Washington proper. Sasaki provided urban planning, landscape architecture, architecture and graphic design. |
|
Caohai North Shore New Urban District
|  | | | Sasaki and client Shui On applied sustainable principles to the planning and design of the complex project on 485 hectares. The plan integrates native vegetation and open space with an environmentally responsive transportation infrastructure connected to the city and region's existing roadways. It dedicates about 87 hectares of the total site to a mix of high, medium, and low-density housing and about 29 hectares to cultural facilities such as museums, theaters, an amphitheater, and an artists' community. |

Cedar Rapids River Corridor Redevelopment Plan
|  | | | 2008 was crowned “The Year of the River” in Cedar Rapids, Iowa - a title that became more significant following the catastrophic flood in June 2008 that inundated the river-edge neighborhoods and a large part of downtown. Over the four months following the flood, Sasaki worked closely with city representatives, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, stakeholders, and a team of planners, engineers, and designers to develop the framework plan. The public process included a series of open houses where the community could view and provide feedback on alternatives for flood management, housing and transportation. |
|
Port of Los Angeles Wilmington Waterfront Development
|  | | | The Sasaki team worked with Port staff and Wilmington stakeholders to develop a series of connected open spaces offering the Wilmington community 47 acres for informal/passive recreation use and events. The master plan also extends a 5-mile stretch of the California Coastal Trail, linking Wilmington to the adjacent community of San Pedro. |
|
Port Of Los Angeles Wilmington Waterfront Development - Harry Bridges Buffer Area
|  | | | Sasaki is working with the Port of Los Angeles, the nation's largest seaport, to plan and design the Wilmington waterfront project, the location of the port's founding. The buffer area is a 30 acre open space that will provide places for informal play, public gathering, community events, siting and promenading as determined through an extensive community outreach process. The buffer will serve as a public amenity while also buffering the Wilmington community from port operations to the south. |
|
Savannah East Riverfront and City Squares
|  | | | As part of a 2007 invited competition, Sasaki created three new squares for underdeveloped land east of the historic district in Savannah, the East Riverfront Neighborhood. By orienting the new squares to the river, the city is reconnected to its waterfront. The new mixed-use urban development creates a highly walkable, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood where home, work, and recreation opportunities all occur within a few blocks. Connecting with larger open spaces provides opportunity to experience and appreciate the environment while encouraging leaving automobiles behind. |
|
Harbor Point
|  | | | Harbor Point transforms eighty-two acres of former industrial brownfields in Stamford’s South End into a dynamic new mixed-use waterfront district. The master plan envisions a new framework of public realm—parks, plazas, and streetscape improvements—to overcome the flood-control walls and levees that have proven historic barriers to the waterfront. In reconnecting the city to the water, the project celebrates the historic and essential relationship between Stamford and Long Island Sound. |

Waterfronts
The underutilized urban waterfront often represents a city’s most significant opportunity for economic and physical regeneration. While they hold tremendous possibilities, waterfronts are particularly challenging: each site presents a unique and complex set of physical characteristics, historic and cultural considerations, environmental issues, and regulatory constraints that affect development potential.
Our designs are thoughtful, imaginative, and clear. We balance the needs of development with the importance of maintaining public access and supporting waterfront activities. We aim to create dynamic public environments that invite people to the water’s edge, forge new connections, and stimulate private investment by capturing the real estate value of a waterfront location. Our designs incorporate creative technical solutions and environmental realities to celebrate the special character of waterfront environments.
