From Urban Land writer Ron Nyren, an article profiling 10 infill projects that maximize constrained sites: "By filling vacant lots, infill development can enhance street life and help curb sprawl. However, facing relatively higher land costs, developers must do more with less. Zoning rules, oddly shaped sites, the proximity of adjacent buildings and infrastructure, and other constraints require creative design and engineering strategies." Profiled projects are:
- Locust St Addition, Philly, developer Gibbs Connors, architect Rasmussen/Su (pictured)
- Art Stable, Seattle, developer Point32, architect Olson Kundig
- Domenech ,Brooklyn, developer Common Ground, architect Jonathan Kirschenfeld
- Evelyn Grace Academy, London, developer Absolute Return for Kids, architect Zaha Hadid
- HL23, New York, developer Alf Naman, architect Neil Denari
- Lunder Building, Boston, developer Mass General, architect NBBJ
- Penn St Lofts, Quincy, Massachusetts, developer Touchstone, architect Merge Architects
- Dolby Regeneration Medecine Building, San Fran, developer UCSF, architects Rafael Vinoly and SmithGroup
- St. Thomas the Apostle School, LA, architect Griffin Enright
