| Santana Row |
| San Jose, California |
 Wells + Associates was retained by Federal Realty Investment Trust to conduct traffic and shared parking studies of Santana Row, a mixed-use project located in San Jose, California. The project consists of 600,000 S.F. of  retail space and restaurants, a 1,850-seat cinema, a new hotel, and 1,200 apartments.Wells + Associates demonstrated the transportation benefits of dense, mixed use, pedestrian- and transit-friendly design. Santa Row will generate a need for 1,300, or 30 percent, fewer parking spaces than typical stand-alone uses, due to the synergy among complementary uses. These findings were supported by nationally published data and actual observations at comparable mixed-use projects. Wells + Associates conducted internal traffic analyses that identified appropriate street cross-sections, traffic control devices, lane configurations, and parking garage driveway designs. Wells + Associates also assisted in developing design guidelines for the internal road network and parking systems, valet parking locations and operations, and truck loading and unloading requirements. |
