Downtown Master Plan Missoula MT
Led by Jason King from Able City East, the Downtown Missoula Master Plan is a comprehensive project overseen by the Downtown Missoula Partnership (DMP). This partnership includes the Downtown Missoula Business Improvement District, the Missoula Downtown Association, and the Missoula Downtown Foundation. Jason King and his team handled crucial aspects such as land use, visualizations, historic preservation, and community engagement, working alongside seven specialty consultants.
Jean Lafitte Tomorrow Plan
Jason King, now co-owner of Able City East, served as the project director and primary author of the master plan. Under his guidance, the Town of Jean Lafitte—an historic fishing community south of New Orleans outside the current levee system—set out to create a comprehensive resilience master plan after being severely affected by flooding from natural disasters, the effects of nearby levee systems, and the 2010 BP oil spill.
Plan NoBe
Jason King, now co-owner of Able City East, served as the project director and primary author of the master plan. Under his guidance, a Master Plan was developed for the North
Beach District of Miami Beach, introducing an economic and revitalization strategy known as Plan NoBe. This plan
provides a framework for public policy in North Beach concerning physical development, setting priorities for
public-sector action and guiding private-sector decisions. It includes illustrative plans, diagrams, maps, and pictures
to clarify concepts for city officials, residents, developers, community groups, and other stakeholders.
Viva Laredo Comprehensive Plan
Our team of professionals collaborated with the city of Laredo to develop its Comprehensive Plan. Viva Laredo is a plan created through an inclusive, participatory public process that presents both grand vision and a practical plan to accomplish those goals. The Project Team lead by Mario Pena, Frank Rotnofsky and Viviana Frank, AIA, of Frank/Hickey-Pena Architects, a joint venture, with Dover Kohl Planners provided the expertise to navigate through each phase in a timely manner.
Eagle Pass Downtown Master Plan
Able City completed a full assessment of Eagle Pass’s river-fronting downtown as part of an unprecedented downtown revitalization plan. The plan includes economic and cultural development, mobility, recreation, border relations, and river vega improvement strategies. The team has worked with the community in Eagle Pass to fully engage and harness the opportunities given to them by their location along their river/border and to enhance their relationship with their sister city across the river Piedras Negras.
Clint Comprehensive Plan
Able City led the development of the Imagine Clint Grows Comprehensive Plan and Code Rewrite, a forward-
looking framework that places housing at the center of the town’s long-term vision. The plan establishes policies to expand housing diversity, promote affordability, and align new growth with infrastructure capacity. It identifies opportunities for infill housing within existing neighborhoods and near schools and civic facilities, reducing development costs and encouraging more efficient land use.
Alazan Courts Master Plan
Reimagine Alazan Courts was a community engagement and master plan design effort that proposed a major redevelopment to Alazan Courts, San Antonio’s largest and oldest public housing complex located on the city’s Westside. The plan sought to respond to resident needs, honor the local community and celebrate local culture and history.
Cotulla City Hall
The recently completed New Cotulla City Hall Project consisted of the stabilization and restoration of the building’s two original historic facades (circa 1925) in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and included the construction of a new building behind the existing facades that houses Cotulla’s City Hall offices. Substantial structural efforts were made to stabilize and preserve the historic facade.
UISD Ninth Grade Campus
Able City designed and constructed four new 9th Grade Schools with a capacity of 1,000 students. The design includes regular classrooms, special purpose classrooms, science laboratories, and career technology classrooms, labs and shops, administrative offices, cafetorium, performance stage, stage dressing rooms/restrooms, kitchen, library, two gymnasiums, music and band practice areas, exterior athletic competition fields facilities for football, soccer, baseball and softball, and tennis courts, athletic field houses, and parking areas.
Villa Antigua
Above the banks of the Rio Grande in the heart of the Laredo’s San Agustín Historic District, the Villa Antigua Border Heritage Museum occupies a restored two-story brick Italianate residence built in the early 20th century. The structure was constructed by a local Laredo merchant and served as home to two different prominent families. By the late 20th century, however, the historic structure was derelict, gutted by fires and suffering from neglect. Headed for demolition, the historic structure was acquired by the Webb County Heritage Foundation and Webb County.
