Kate is a designer at Calthorpe Associates with two years of experience in urban design and planning, her interests include urban revitalization, suburban repair and community development. While at Calthorpe Associates she has contributed to a number of projects including:

• Daybreak (South Jordan, UT) - Comprising 4,700 acres, this development is located at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains in the Salt Lake Valley. It is the largest undeveloped parcel in single ownership in the Valley. The project will include a mixed-use town center surrounded by walkable neighborhoods, each with its’ own neighborhood or village center. The development is designed around an extensive open space system comprising twenty five percent of the site. A sustainable ecological system will be integrated into all aspects of the community’s development, from street and building design to open space location.

• Viridian (Arlington, TX) - Viridian is a 2,200 acre mixed-use infill community located in Arlington, Texas.  The community is positioned in the geographic center between Dallas and Fort Worth on a commuter rail line. Viridian will feature residential, retail, entertainment, commercial, and office space based around a Town Center. 1,200 acres of Viridian have been dedicated as natural wetlands and open space. Nature will be more accessible to the community through improvements to the habitat, enhancement of the natural lakes, and walking/biking trails.

• Stapleton Redevelopment Plan (Denver, CO) - At nearly 4,700 acres, this redevelopment of Denver’s old airport into a series of transit-oriented walkable neighborhoods is the nation’s largest urban infill project.  The project will feature 13,000 new residential units, nearly 10 million square feet of new employment uses, 2 million square feet of retail and 1,200 acres of new regional open space. As of spring 2004, more than 1000 homes are occupied, and the first phase mixed-use village center is complete and occupied.

• Berryesa BART Station Area Plan (San Jose, CA) - The area plan is 120 acre site that transforms a former flea market and parking lot in eastern San Jose. This project will redevelop the area into a vital Transit-Oriented activity node that is befitting the infrastructural investment of the approved BART extension. The Berryessa BART station will be integrated into a cohesive, mixed-use neighborhood featuring a mix of moderate and high density housing, local shopping, open space, school, and offices within easy walking distance of the BART station.

• Konterra Masterplan and Conceptual Site Plan (Laurel, MD) - a 488 acre masterplan at the convergence of Interstate 95 and ICC between Washington DC and Baltimore, MD.  Konterra, one of Maryland’s growth centers, will be an exciting place to live, work and recreate.  Konterra is committed to the development of a Town Center that is vibrant in every way; a place that the County and its residents can be proud of for generations and that provides and economically and socially viable and sustainable Town Center.

• Additional projects Kate is currently involved with include: Fresno South Stadium (Fresno, CA); Texas Stadium (Irving, TX); and Echo Bay Waterfront Development Project (New Rochelle, NY).
