MXD is working in over 45 countries around the globe on the master planning, economic analysis, and development strategy of Airport City, Aerotropolis, Mixed-Use, Retail, Urban Redevelopment, Resort, TOD, and other commercial development projects.
Airport City Planning
With our global expertise and knowledge of “Airport Connected Development”, we are known for leveraging non-aeronautical revenues from defining airport commercial lands as gateways for regional economic development.
Regional Planning
Our team uses an innovative economic and land use approach to create regional plans for multi-jurisdictional groups. We work with transportation planners, designers, and engineers to ensure that long-term visions are implementable, economically beneficial, and community-driven.
Mixed-Use Development Strategy
MXD creates strategic development plans that determine the highest and best use of the site through various components such as retail, culinary, office, entertainment, medical, and multi-family residential. We then work with designers to create seamless three dimensional places that achieve synergy between each project component.
Transit-Oriented Development Planning
MXD provides development strategy for commercial and mixed-use developments at and around multi-modal transit hubs. Some of the projects we have worked on integrate with or are located along light rail, subway, Skytrain, Airport Terminals, Port Terminals, and more.
Urban Redevelopment Strategies
Understanding that many parcels of land are now going through a second or third generation of development, MXD assists clients in the development strategy of underutilized and infill urban sites. This includes suburban nodes that are in areas of transition and have potential higher and better uses.
First Nation Planning
MXD works with First Nation groups to assist with realizing the value of their land holdings while ensuring developments uniquely represent their culture and create a strong sense of place.
Resort Planning
MXD’s focus has been on creating land use plans, development strategy, and financial feasibility for mixed-use villages, hotels, and resort residential that complements the outdoor recreation components, creating a seamless and memorable experience for visitors.
Economic Development Planning
MXD defines Niche Economic Clusters that respond to the local region’s strengths that sets the recommended commercial development apart from the competition, regionally and globally. A phased commercial development program that not only responds to market opportunity, but integrates an economic cluster approach assists in accelerating development and assists the client with economic development initiatives through catalytic projects.
