FEATURED WORK
Burbank Town Center Redevelopment
About the project
Consensus was retained by joint venture partners Crown Realty & Development and CAPREF Manager to announce plans to redevelop the Burbank Town Center mall and several outparcel into a revitalized “heart” of downtown Burbank. An increase in density would mean thousands of new residents and hotel occupants. However, the impacts over existing conditions would be negligible because the new development was replacing, in part, the most highly visited IKEA store in the U.S. Regardless, perception equals reality and nearly all land use projects face opposition no matter how greatly they improve the community.

Giving Neighbors a Taste of What Could Be
About the project
Even in the San Fernando Valley, mall capital of the world and home of the original “Valley Girl”, shopping centers are losing their luster. With the rise of e-commerce and behemoths like Amazon, the shopping center industry is retooling to regain its attraction with a focus on experience. For Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks, that draw is eight new restaurants. However, the San Fernando Valley and Sherman Oaks in particular is the home of something else, a well organized, highly-active community that vigilantly opposes any development that could potentially create traffic on their already congested streets.
