Placemaking Week in Detroit with Project for Public Spaces was everything we hoped it would be!

John Scheffel represented api(+) at this year's event, connecting with and learning from placemakers, designers and community builders from around the world who share a goal: creating places where people want to be.

From panel conversations to painting alongside fellow attendees on a community mural, it was a powerful reminder of how creativity and collaboration turn spaces into places people love.

He's back with fresh ideas, new relationships and a renewed appreciation for the craft of placemaking.

In commercial real estate, the best outcomes come from smart development fundamentals working in concert with exceptional design.

A successful project includes long term vision, strategic tenant mix, location, and the reputation you've built as a developer. Design amplifies all of it.

From the moment a tenant steps onsite, they're reading signals. Architecture, wayfinding, materials and spatial flow either reinforce your promise or undermine it. When design is integrated from the start it propels with your leasing and makes every other asset you've put in place work harder.

That's where api(+) comes in. We design centers that align with your goals.

+ Programming + Feasibility
+ Master Planning
+ Concept Design
+ Architecture + Construction Documentation
+ Placemaking + Wayfinding
+ Tenant Design Coordination

Each phase is integrated. Together, design and development strategy deliver best-in-class tenancy and exceptional guest experience.

Curated. Outdoor-oriented. Designed for slowing down to enjoy.

Avenida Biscayne by Regency Centers in Aventura, Florida is a 28,000-square-foot lifestyle destination featuring curated retail and restaurant tenants, and it's proof of what thoughtful architectural design can do.

In retail, design is a powerful variable that commands premium tenants and rents. Regency Centers achieved full occupancy, a best-in-class tenant roster, and above-ask lease rates from day one. Results by design.

Have a ground-up or renovation in your plans? Let's start planning. (813) 281-9299 | [email protected]

Avenida Biscayne is what happens when a retail center is designed to feel like a destination. Calm, shaded and lush, with a highly curated tenant mix and a layout built around intimacy, sophistication and climate comfort. The kind of place that invites guests to slow down and stay awhile. api(+) is proud to have brought this ground-up lifestyle center to life alongside the incredible team at Regency Centers.
