WGI prepared a massing study and conceptual master plan to help attract investment and guide future development in an area designated as an Opportunity Zone in 2017. The study area was organized into six nodes to identify appropriate land uses and transitions within the neighborhood. The plan emphasized multi-story mixed-use development, with higher-intensity uses—such as TOD and mixed-use residential—placed near the Florida East Coast Railway corridor with intensity scaling down near the existing single-family neighborhood. Light industrial and business incubator nodes were located where they would have minimal neighborhood impact. WGI also conducted two public outreach meetings to understand community priorities, which shaped recommendations to attract needed services such as healthcare facilities, laundromats, and grocery stores.
