At Sustainable Village Redevelopment, we specialize in redevelopment, urban renewal, and adaptive re-use, transforming underutilized or disrepaired buildings into vibrant, sustainable, and community-enhancing spaces. Whether it’s restoring a neglected building to its original luster, increasing density and vibrance with thoughtful mixed-use additions, or integrating modern energy solutions, our mission is to create projects that serve their neighborhoods while honoring their character.
Adaptive re-use focuses on taking existing structures—often older, underutilized, or single-use properties—and repurposing them for a higher and better use. This approach:
Preserves Historic Character: It gives new life to buildings that hold cultural or architectural significance.
Reduces Environmental Impact: Reusing buildings reduces waste and minimizes the environmental costs of demolition and new construction. This approach aligns with principles of sustainable development by minimizing waste and reducing the need for new construction.
Adds Density and Value: Transforming older lots into mixed-use properties or small apartment communities brings vibrance, activity, and new life to towns and cities.
Several architect-developer teams have led groundbreaking redevelopment projects that inspire us:
The North Parker – San Diego, CA
Developer: Jonathan Segal
This mixed-use project turned an underutilized lot into a stunning mix of apartments, cafes, and creative workspaces. It’s an excellent example of bringing density and vibrance to an urban neighborhood.
The You Are Here Lofts – San Diego, CA
Developer: Mike Burnett
A beautiful adaptive re-use of a neglected property, featuring modern residential lofts and sustainable design elements that enhanced the local community.
Truckee Railyard Redevelopment – Truckee, CA
A revitalization project aimed at transforming an industrial railyard site into a lively downtown extension with mixed-use housing, retail, and cultural spaces.
Mammoth Lakes Redevelopment Plans – Mammoth Lakes, CA
Mammoth Lakes has actively sought community-focused redevelopment to create more modern, sustainable housing options for both locals and visitors. Incentives support infill and adaptive re-use to address housing shortages.
Crested Butte Adaptive Re-Use Projects – Crested Butte, CO
Crested Butte, known for its historic architecture, is seeing increased interest in small-scale redevelopment projects that preserve its charm while providing new housing opportunities for seasonal and long-term residents.
These projects are excellent examples of urban revitalization, breathing new life into neglected areas.
These projects demonstrate the power of adaptive re-use to revitalize communities while maintaining their unique character.
At Sustainable Village Redevelopment, we don’t just build—we reimagine spaces to create places where people want to live, connect, and thrive. Our projects are designed with sustainable architecture principles in mind, ensuring they are both eco-friendly and community-focused.
Community-Enhancing Features:
Social Courtyards: We design outdoor spaces for residents to socialize, connect with neighbors, and build lasting friendships.
Community Vegetable Gardens: These encourage a sense of sustainability and shared purpose while providing fresh produce for residents.
Bicycle-Friendly Design:
With ground-level bike parking integrated into all our projects, we make it easier for residents to skip the car and take a bike for quick errands. This small feature can greatly reduce vehicle emissions and improve urban living.
Solar-Powered, Energy-Independent Living:
Whenever possible, we integrate solar power and battery backup systems into our buildings. By taking properties off the fossil-fuel grid, we’re contributing to a cleaner, more resilient future.
We’re passionate about bringing our solar-powered, sports-oriented, and socially vibrant vision to towns that need fairly affordable rental housing and thoughtful redevelopment:
Truckee, CA – A beautiful mountain town balancing outdoor adventure and modern living. Truckee has actively supported redevelopment projects like the Railyard and welcomes infill solutions to address housing shortages.
Mammoth Lakes, CA – As a year-round destination, Mammoth Lakes needs sustainable, affordable rentals to support residents, visitors, and the workforce.
Crested Butte, CO – Known for its historic charm and outdoor recreation, Crested Butte is an ideal place for small, thoughtful redevelopment projects that serve the local community.

Our projects in these towns also emphasize historic preservation, ensuring that new developments respect and enhance the existing character.
