Design Review

CNU New England promotes high quality urban design, with an emphasis on the subtleties of street layout, façade design, scale and overall site functionality, as defined by the local condition. Often, public concerns expressed about density and use are actually concerns about design. In New England, where so many new projects are located in proximity to built-out communities, a successful project will be one that reflects the traditional character of the neighborhood and properly addresses the New England community in which it is located. Our affiliated urban design professionals will provide design review of schematic and conceptual plans, including realistic solutions for improving the design to ensure a more successful product. Design review is available for municipalities and private developers at a range of scales , from the region to the neighborhood, from the street to the individual building.
