Homes and Neighborhood Principles

Live/Work

Quality neighborhoods offer the opportunity for residents to work and live within the neighborhood when the scale, character and function of business settings are compatible with homes.

Principles in Action

Orenco Station in Portland, Oregon, is a 190-acre, pedestrian-friendly community served by a light rail station. This transit-oriented development includes a town center with approximately 76,000 square feet of office, retail and residential lofts. Residents can live above their work sites.

Mizner Park is a mixed-use redevelopment in Boca Raton, Florida. Its particular mix of shops, offices, homes and public places allows residents the opportunity to live and work in the same neighborhood.
