An existing resort development is looking to double the number of units, and expand the property’s retail and amenity offerings. This 4-day, in-residence, paid team competition/charrette asks current graduate students or recent graduates in architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, or related disciplines to design a concept for developing a large site adjacent to the existing resort units.
Bonita Village is an existing 80 unit condo/short-term rental resort property on 20 acres in Bonita Springs, FL. The property developer, Omer Dror, a Yale MBA and MIT Real Estate Development master student with 20+ years of experience, is planning to further develop the surrounding property. A 90 unit condo building is due to begin construction in Summer 2020, and is already 10% pre-sold. The developer is looking to develop an additional 600 condo units which can also be leased on a short-term basis. In addition, the developer is expanding the property’s offerings to include retail and other amenities. Given the region’s high population density in the peak season (December-April) and lower density in summer, the developer is looking for ideas about how to design the site to accommodate temporary or semi-permanent buildings. Detailed information and assumptions about climate change, driverless cars ownership, and more will be provided upon acceptance into the competition.
