<br /> <br />ATTACHMENT A <br />BEAM DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />Summary of Proposal <br /> <br /> <br />Development Team <br />Developer: Beam Development <br />Architect: Ankrom Moisan Associated Architects <br />Project Manager: Pinnell Bush <br />Contractor: SD Deacon <br /> <br />Development Proposal <br />Development Footprint: Full block <br />Residential: Undisclosed number of ownership condominium units on two quarter blocks <br />Retail: 110,000 sq.ft. <br />Office: 40,000 sq.ft. <br />Hotel: 75-125 rooms <br />Parking: 293 underground spaces <br /> <br />Development Team Experience <br />Beam’s most recent developments have been focused on historic building rehabilitation and warehouse <br />and industrial adaptive reuse. Beam’s principal, Brad Malsin, has prior experience developing <br />condominiums in New York. Although there is evidence of relevant project experience, Beam does not <br />have extensive experience with mixed-use new construction of the scale being proposed. Project <br />examples include Eastbank Commerce Center and Olympic Mills Commerce Center. The design <br />architects for the proposed project, Ankrom Moison, have extensive experience designing urban mixed- <br />use projects. <br /> <br />Urban Design <br />No architectural design concept was included in the proposal, other than a diagram indicating four <br />quadrants of the full block development over underground parking. Based on this diagram, each quarter <br />block would include a multistory structure, with a pedestrian plaza in the middle, linked by pedestrian <br />access through the alleys. The text states that the design will be sensitive to the context of the <br />surrounding buildings, and reinforce the walkable character of downtown Eugene. <br /> <br />Active Uses <br />Beam is proposing a diverse mix of active uses which include ground floor retail, ownership housing, <br />hotel, office, and public space. Significant ground floor retail extends throughout the block. The <br />proposal also anticipates retail activity along the alleys. The proposed hotel use has the potential to <br />bring visitors downtown to activate the streets. <br /> <br />Sustainable Development <br />Beam is proposing a high level of LEED certification for the project. Storm water management <br />technologies, renewable energy sources, and wind turbines are cited as potential sustainable building <br />features. <br /> L:\CMO\2006 Council Agendas\M061011\S061011B.doc <br />
