Last week, I had three revealing conversations. A principal at a major architectural firm shared that they handle most 3D renderings in-house. A young architect from a different firm that I know resigned, frustrated by spending too much time on renderings instead of design and growth. Finally, a developer client was unhappy with the architectural firm’s rendering quality and asked if we could step in to help.
Grocery prices have been in the news a lot recently. Yet according to the July 2024 report from ICSC, grocery store visits increased 7.6% year over year in Q2 of 2024. Reef Plaza in Lauderdale Lake, FL is anticipating the trend will continue. Owner Dacar Management is adding a new ground-up Publix grocery store on one corner of the strip center, plus a new standalone Chase Bank. The additions are part of a larger improvement project being designed by LA Architects. The firm leaned on PRISM Renderings to communicate the project scope through several rendering views to obtain site approval from the local jurisdiction.
