Spatial Quality Strategy

SCD: SITE COVERAGE DENSITY

The North Zone maintains a high building density for overall GLA and Urban Character. As pedestrian movement migrates south, the SCD gradually decreases providing unique spatial qualities. The South Zone is the least dense with a rural seafront character. The open space here also allows wide open views toward the lake from the street.
