Multi-Phased

Building Expertise: Multi-Phased

Large parcels of land with multiple planned buildings are usually constructed in phases that can take years or decades to complete. Multi-phased developments can include infill and intensification projects that can combat urban sprawl by making the most of underdeveloped sites such as mall parking lots and ‘tower in a park’ developments. Adaptive re-use of former industrial buildings and sites can also result in master-planned mixed-use neighbourhoods.

Project Types

There is no single type of multi-phase development, although this type of large-scale project will commonly include a blend of residential, commercial, and community spaces. A consistent design approach, long-term vision, the transfer of knowledge and lessons learned from one phase to the next, and open communication among team members and construction partners are all crucial for these large developments. Having been involved in some groundbreaking multi-phase developments at Jablonsky, like Downtown Markham, we know they can be incredibly rewarding when seeing the vision come to life.

Long-Term Project Management

Structural engineers help developers determine the phases of a project during the early planning stage. The design of each phase should anticipate connections to future phases, though adaptability is key (in case future phases are delayed, which can happen). Provisions are often made to ensure early phases can perform as standalone developments. Our team members on these large projects often engage across multiple phases to ensure consistency in design, expertise, and execution.
