After a long period of neglect, many cities in the U.S. are finally realizing the economic value of their waterfronts and engaging in studies and projects to remake them. Common reuse is a former warehouse and commercial/maritime buildings as retail space, museums, small offices, and residences. The concept of a vibrant mixed-use waterfront that features open space, pedestrian access, and a mix of water-oriented uses has found favor. Artemel and Associates assists municipalities by conducting waterfront planning efforts, proposing plans and urban designs, and recommending implementation strategies that involve both the public and private sectors. The revived waterfront then becomes a generator of revenues to the municipal budget through increased real property, business license, meals, hotel, and personal property taxes, while contributing to the quality of life of nearby residents.
