A brief is a short version of a case study.

The product of a ground-breaking public/private partnership, Atelier|505 is a mixed-use development in Boston’s South End that includes 103 luxury condominiums, 20,776 square feet (1,930 m²) of ground-floor retail, and a performing arts facility. The 300,118-square-foot (27,882-m²) project complements the adjacent Cyclorama theater, forming a truly integrated “arts block” for the city of Boston. Using a financial model that has been studied by developers, urban planners, and city officials, the Druker Company partnered with the city of Boston, the Boston Center for the Arts (BCA), and the Huntington Theatre Company to create a vibrant hub of activity in a rising neighborhood.
