University Avenue is one of the City of Riverside’s most important corridors and gateways bringing traffic from two freeway off -ramps leading to the University of Riverside and intersecting with Downtown Riverside. Ms. Malhotra provided urban design and visualization services to the City of Riverside as part of the City’s in-house update of the University Avenue Specific Plan. As part of the services, architectural imagery to portray how vertical and horizontal mixed use and higher density residential projects could fit into the neighborhood context was prepared. In addition, various design options for adaptive reuse of historic buildings in the Specific Plan area were explored.
